Computation routine

Calculate, check, explain.

Name the problem type before solving so the operation or representation is chosen for a mathematical reason.

  1. 01

    Name the operation and useful number relationships.

  2. 02

    Solve with an efficient written or mental strategy.

  3. 03

    Check the result with the inverse operation or an estimate.

01Problem

926 − 486 = ___

02 · Answer440
03 · Check

Name the problem type before solving so the operation or representation is chosen for a mathematical reason. This example supports the page objective: Fluently add and subtract within 1,000 using place-value algorithms.

Teacher sequence

Introduce, model, practice, inspect

Move through the sequence vertically. Each step has a distinct classroom decision rather than a hidden swipe panel.

  1. Introduce

    Set one visible purpose

    • Use the first set as a brief diagnostic, then target practice to the errors found. For this addition and subtraction within 1,000 set, begin without a timer.
  2. Model

    Demonstrate the calculation strategy

    • Name the problem type before solving so the operation or representation is chosen for a mathematical reason.
  3. Practice

    Assign the focused set

    • Ask learners to name the strategy they chose as problem types change. Regenerate only when the learner is ready for another arrangement of the same objective.
  4. Inspect

    Use errors to choose the next move

    • Continuing one operation when the problem type has changed. Watch for this specifically during addition and subtraction within 1,000 practice.
    • Rushing through familiar-looking items without reading symbols or units. Use the worked correction as the next teaching example.
