Addition and Subtraction within 20 (Make 10, Add 10, Use 10)
$12.78
Addition and subtraction within 20 is a second-grade math unit focused on making ten, adding ten, and using ten to add and subtract.
This unit focuses on establishing 10 as a benchmark to provide students with strategies and practice for developing automaticity with larger math facts before moving on to multi-digit addition and subtraction.
Addition & subtraction within 20 is a second grade math single-digit addition and subtraction unit focused on making ten, adding ten, and using ten to add and subtract. This unit specifically focuses on establishing 10 as a benchmark number to give students strategies and practice in developing automaticity with larger math facts before moving onto multi-digit addition and subtraction.
In the base-10 number system, understanding how to use 10 as a benchmark number is key for students to obtain fluency and automaticity with their math facts, be able to add and subtract two-digit numbers in their heads, and use place value and compensation strategies with larger numbers. If students can learn how to use 10 to add an subtract smaller numbers within 20, they will have so many tools and strategies at their disposal when adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers.
Included in the unit are four different sections specifically focused on making ten, adding ten, using ten to add and using ten to subtract. Each section has:
• Worksheets / No-Prep Printables (with ten frames, number bonds, and number lines)
• Cut and Paste Worksheets
• Partner Matching Cards (with ten frames, number bonds, and bar models)
• Quick Checks in three different formats
There are enough resources in this unit to provide you with materials for whole group direct instruction as well as small group Response to Intervention (RtI) follow-up. You can revisit these concepts all year long as students either need a refresher on the power of using 10 as a benchmark number or are now ready to understand how to use the number 10 to solve math facts.

I LOVE this resource. I did not feel like our district’s adopted text did a great job helping students practice the different strategies that help them become fluent in this skill. My students’ overall skills in adding and subtracting within 20 improved a lot due to the daily practice using this resource. Thank you so much.

I love the digital google slides version for distance learning and look forward to using the print version in my classroom when we return to traditional school. It’s really nice to have both options.

I made my students grab-and-go packets and left them on my porch for pickup. I made several copies from your resource to help support my students. Most of my parents have had positive responses, saying that this was easy to use, their kiddo was engaged, and just what they were looking for to help support their addition/subtraction to 20. Thank you for your great resource.
