Steps

STEP 1

Have children recite and solve each equation listed below.

STEP 2

Have children copy on paper the equations listed below and their solutions.

EQUATIONS

• 5+1 or 1+5= ; therefore 6-1= ; 6-5=
• 4+2 or 2+4= ; therefore 6-2= ; 6-4=
• 3+3= ; therefore 6-3=

Repeat this lesson every day until children can easily recite and write the equations and their solutions.
