Directions

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to teach the lesson.

Progress to the next lesson when children master the current lesson.

Value mastery over speed of progression.

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

• 7+1 or 1+7= ; therefore 8-1= ; 8-7=
• 6+2 or 2+6= ; therefore 8-2= ; 8-6=
• 5+3 or 3+5= ; therefore 8-3= ; 8-5=
• 4+4= ; therefore 8-4=

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