Picture Numbers - Addition and Subtraction

Unit 29

This math unit develops foundational arithmetic skills through a sequence of visually based lessons. It begins with simple counting tasks where students identify and count specific shapes and colors in images, progressing from matching these counts to numerical and written forms. As the unit advances, students further develop their counting skills, utilizing pictures to bridge to numerical representations and then to words, enhancing their ability to recognize and describe quantities. The unit transitions from counting into basic addition and subtraction, starting with addition exercises that strengthen the ability to link visual representations with corresponding numeric values. It then moves into subtraction, initially requiring students to visually determine the number of items remaining after some have been removed. More complex skills are introduced as students progress to constructing and understanding arithmetic equations directly from visual cues. By the end of the unit, students are equipped to translate detailed pictorial scenarios into written mathematical expressions, thereby solidifying their understanding of addition and subtraction through both visualization and symbolic representation.more
