Adding & Subtracting Groups of 10s & 1s with Arrow Math: Number Talks Task Cards

Arrow Math prompts ask students to do some fairly abstract thinking. Students must have a solid grasp of place value, counting on and back, as well as, adding and subtracting groups of ten. Without these foundations your students will struggle to complete these problems mentally. Initially, you may need to display a 120s chart to support students. Additionally, the idea of efficiency will need to be introduced, allowing students to consolidate their math thinking into a single equation. These arrow math prompts are most definitely a challenge for students, but when introduced liked a tricky puzzle students love finding the ‘Stop’ number.
