Addition & Subtraction with Missing Addends Task Cards | Enrichment 1st & 2nd

These Addition and Subtraction Missing Addends Algebra Task Cards help reinforce the concept of equality while deepening students' understanding of addition and subtraction. There are two types of formats included: balances and equations. These reinforce the concepts of "equal" and addition and subtraction while building fluency with facts within 20 and addition and subtraction within 100.

These equality task cards are the perfect rigorous activity for enrichment for your high flyers and fast finishers! Have each task card set accessible for students to work to challenge themselves to apply the operations in new ways. Rather than giving your highly achieving students work with 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th grades, give them

Students build their algebraic thinking with equivalence by working through balance the equation activities. By integrating algebraic concepts in elementary classrooms, students develop math reasoning and computation skills while applying number sense, logic, and algebraic thinking.

Balancing Equations helps students understand the concept of equality – working to balance both sides of the equation. With these task cards, students should start by writing the equation represented on the balance then solving. These are also great for working with the concept of a variable. The included shape represents the unknown number and can easily be connected with the variable.

I intentionally left these task cards and the recording sheet somewhat open ended. This allows you to tailor your directions to match your students’ readiness levels. You can have students just identify the missing number write an equation, and/or use a variable.

If you have not worked with balances or linear equations previously, students will likely need some instruction for beginning. Once it’s introduced, these are a great extension for fast finishers, and even high ability students depending on the grade level.

These task cards are great for:

• whole class instruction
• small group instruction- both guided or independent
• fast finisher extensions
• high ability enrichment

These task cards are part of my Accessing Algebra line. Accessing Algebra is designed to focus on applying algebraic thinking with our existing standards, giving students the tools they'll need for success later. By looking at the standards in a new way, students build a deeper understanding of the standard while also building their critical and algebraic thinking.
