First grade is the year that students are developing their foundational mathematical skills.  It is critical that when learning how to add numbers, our students are learning and understanding HOW to use a math algorithm to find an answer and also able to explain WHY they are doing so.  When I teach my students addition, they have a solid understanding of numbers and place value first.  Then I introduce different addition strategies.  After some practice with these strategies, the focus can shift to memorization of facts.  This, of course, comes later.

Some strategies that I like to use when teaching addition are:

(these are all covered in the First Grade Addition Interactive Notebook)
1.  Zero Facts
2.  Turn-Around Facts
3.  Counting On
4.  Doubles Facts
5.  Using Fingers
6.  Using Manipulatives
7.  Near Doubles
8.  Make a Ten
9.  Part Part Whole
10.  Combining Numbers
11.  Tally Marks
12.  Ten Frames
13.  Fingers

Another important component to teaching any new unit in math is to teach the vocabulary words that go with the concept.  This particular interactive math notebook activity includes 10 vocabulary words with definitions.  You could have your students glue their definitions under the vocabulary word or write the definition themselves.

This First Grade Addition Strategies Notebook includes all of the strategies you read from above along with activities for practice of these addition strategies.  I believe most first graders benefit from using manipulatives when learning a math skill so these interactive notebook activities were designed to accompany some of the most basic math manipulatives such as dice, counters, dominoes, etc.

My favorite part about this First Grade Addition Strategies Notebook is the word problem story mats.  Word problems seem to always be a trickier concept for students to master so I knew that I wanted to find a way for students to practice this skill in a practical way.  That’s when these word problem story mats came to life!

I love that there are pictures provided for each story or I can use any math manipulative that I have laying around my classroom.  These word problem story mats can also be easily differentiated.  For the struggling student, I would use these as a part of their math center.  I would provide the story prompt and a limited number of counters.  I can also see this being used with at grade level students by having them work with a partner to determine a story, place counters on the story mat, and write the addition sentence to go with the word problem.  For the advanced first graders, I would provide the story mats and an increased number of counters.  Then they would work independently or with a partner to write a word problem of their own along with the addition sentence to go with the word problem.  The First Grade Addition Notebook includes 5 different stories with counters.

Printable Flash Cards

This page contains free printable flash cards for each math operation. Print the 'worksheet' on the front, then turn the page over and print the 'answer key' version on the back. Some sets have duplicate facts for the more difficult problems near the end so that the sets end up on a multiple of pages. Those cards are clearly marked as duplicates... use them for extra practice on the harder problems, or put them aside if you want a set with only one flash card for each math fact.

Hundreds Chart

Every hundreds chart you could imagine! If you're teaching basic counting, number sense, rounding or the basics of arithmetic, you can use a number chart like one of these to speed up building math skills.

Hundreds Chart

Place Value Chart

This page has printable place value charts. In the decimal numbering system, the position (or 'place') of an individual digit in a number determines its value relative to other digits. When a number is written in standard form with groups of three place values separated by commas, each of those groups is called a period. Building number sense by understanding place values is an important early math skill, and these place value charts provide a way to break numbers down to better understand the significane of each digit. There are place value chart variations for whole numbers only, decimal numbers, and very large numbers. There are different place value chart layouts that reinforce just the place value as well as the period value.

First Grade Math Worksheets

1st grade math is the start of learning math operations, and 1st grade addition worksheets are a great place to start the habit of regular math practice. The math worksheets in this section are selected especially for first graders and working with them will build a solid foundation for math topics as students move on to higher grades. Students who master addition in first grade might get an early jump on subtraction math fact practice, and may even learn a few early multiplication facts. This is an exciting time for students learning math, and keeping the challenge and enthusiasm for math at a high level is a worthwhile endeavor for parents and teachers. The selection of 1st grade math worksheets here should be an excellent map for that journey and should provide a great headstart to 2nd grade math as well!

Supplement in Russian - rules, examples, definition

​ ​

We will teach you how to write without errors and tell stories in an interesting way

Start learning

Often in Russian language lessons, students are asked to parse sentences into parts - we have already written how to do this. And today we will devote an article to the addition - we will tell you what direct and indirect additions are and how to determine them.

What is add-on

Additions to the sentence can answer the following questions:

• Genitive: whom? what?

• Dative: to whom? what?

• Accusative: whom? What?

• Instrumental: by whom? how?

• Prepositional case: about whom? about what?

An object can be associated with a predicate or an attribute. During the analysis of the proposal by members, it is distinguished by a dotted line.

Example

How are different types of additions expressed?

Demo lesson in Russian

Take the test at the introductory lesson and find out what topics separate you from the "five" in Russian.

Direct object

Consider examples of sentences to understand how direct objects are expressed.

Indirect addition

All additions that cannot be classified as direct are called indirect .

Check yourself

Highlight the additions in these sentences and indicate how they are expressed.

1. She recited poems to him about the plantain and the ringing of bells over the Loire.

2. He ran out into the yard without putting on his jacket.

3. All night he had vivid dreams about the three kingdoms.

4. It turned out that there were no fresh flowers in this house for a long time.

5. The old people asked me to visit them in winter, when the village is especially lonely.

6. We talked all night about those three stories and did not immediately notice how soon dawn came

KNOW INTUIT | Lecture | Adding relationships to a class diagram and editing their properties

< Lecture 5 || Lecture 6 : 1234 || Lecture 7 >

Abstract: Adding an association to a class diagram and editing its properties. Adding aggregation and composition relations and editing their properties. Adding a generalization relation and editing its properties. The final construction of the class diagram of the ATM model.

Keywords: class diagrams, association, pointer, software, access, field, multiplicity, value, object, navigation, relation, aggregation, toolbar, class, composition, localization, option, generalization, descendant, abstract class, controller, operations, visibility quantifier, return type, Currency, lists of values, display, menus

A class diagram is a logical representation of the structure of a model, so it should contain as many classes as needed to implement the entire project. At the same time, for a complete representation of the structure of the model, it is necessary to establish and specify the relationships between classes. This topic is the subject of this lecture.

Adding an association to a class diagram and editing its properties

Adding an association between two classes to a diagram is done as follows. On the special toolbar, press the button with the directional association icon and release the left mouse button. If the association is directed, then on the class diagram it is necessary to select the first element of the association or the source from which the arrow comes, and, without releasing the pressed left mouse button, move its pointer to the second element of the relation or the receiver to which the arrow is directed. After moving to the second element, the mouse button should be released, which will add a directional association named Untitled between the two selected classes to the class diagram.

Continuing the development of the class diagram of the ATM model, let's add a directed association between the ATM Controller class and the ATM Transaction class to it in the described way (Fig. 6.1).

Fig. 6.1. A fragment of the class diagram of the ATM model after adding a directed association to it

Let's change the name for this association, proposed by the default environment. This can be done using the Association Properties Specification window. Accessing the Association Properties Specification Dialog Box Association Specification can be obtained by selecting the association line on the class diagram or in the project browser and double-clicking on it with the left mouse button (Fig. 6.2).

Fig. 6.2. Association properties specification dialog box

To specify the name of the association, on the tab General (General) in the input field Name (Name) enter the text of its name: Creates and press the button Apply or OK to save the association name editing. For an association, you can also set the multiplicity of each of the ends of the association, a stereotype, use restrictions and roles, as well as some other properties.

For the association added to the class diagram, set the end multiplicity of the association for the ATM Controller class to 1. To do this, go to the tab Role B Detail in the association properties specification window and select the value 1 from the nested list Multiplicity . Similarly, you should set the association end multiplicity for the ATM Transaction class to 1..n, for which, on the Role A Detail tab, select the value 1..n from the nested list Multiplicity . In terms of meaning, this will mean that each object of the ATM Controller class can be associated with one or more objects of the ATM Transaction class.

If the association is undirected, then the order of class selection can be arbitrary, and after adding the association to the class diagram, you should change the value of the corresponding property of this association.
