5. Stories About Adding and Subtracting
ACMNA004 Represent practical situations to model addition and sharing using a range of practical strategies for adding small groups of numbers, such as visual displays or concrete materials

6. Assumed Prior Knowledge
Students should already be able to:
Subitise numbers to ten on a ten frame in pairs and rows layout
Read and write numbers to ten
Count forwards and backwards from any number to 20
Know numbers one more and one less
Recognise adding and sharing in familiar contexts

Addition Stories
pairs
rows
Which is better when using ten frames: rows or pairs?
We recommend that students become familiar with both
Each arrangement illustrates key number knowledge and concepts
Knowing both means students can be flexible in their thinking as they progress through the grades needing to solve more and more complex equations
All + 1 examples
Even numbers + 2, 3 and 4
All + 5 examples
All additions to 5
Doubling requires both rows and pairs layouts
(c) Professor Pete's Classroom, All rights reserved.

8. Addition Stories - Pairs
4 and 3 is 7
This addition question is best shown using the pairs arrangement
Both number appear exactly as each digit is displayed when on its own
If shown in the rows layout then the three is split over two lines and is much more difficult to visualise
Discourage students from counting from the first counter; they should start at the four
You could cover the first four counters to encourage counting on from four to seven
(c) Professor Pete's Classroom, All rights reserved.

9. Addition Stories - Rows
5 and 3 is 8
This addition question is best shown in rows arrangement
Both numbers appear exactly as displayed when on their own; this will be true for any addition question that includes the number five
Remember to always encourage students to count on from five, not from three
(c) Professor Pete's Classroom, All rights reserved.

10. Addition Stories – Larger Addend
1 and 6 is 7
When the second addend is larger than the first, it is best to show the larger number first on the ten frame then add the smaller number
Encourage students to count on from the larger addend
Always counting from the first number is inefficient and may lead to errors

Subtraction Stories
6 take 4 is 2
Subtraction means to take away
For this question, we use a pairs layout, which allows students to see the six, four and two easily
When placing the objects in the ten frame, think of the easiest way to remove the number
Try and keep it visual with the shape of the number of counters remaining as consistent as possible
(c) Professor Pete's Classroom, All rights reserved.

12. (c) Professor Pete's Classroom, 2017. All rights reserved.
Subtraction Stories
5 take 1 is 4
Either a pairs or rows layout would be suitable for this question
Using the pairs layout allows students to easily see four plus one “inside” the five
