M.EE.4.OA.3: Solve one-step real-world problems using addition or subtraction within 100.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 4.OA.3 - Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Combine two or more sets of objects to form a new set. Divide a set of 10 or fewer objects into two or more distinct subsets (e.g., dividing a set containing 10 objects into two subsets containing 4 and 6 objects).

Distal Precursor

Demonstrate understanding of addition by combining the objects of two or more sets, and demonstrate understanding of subtraction by removing some objects from a larger set.

Proximal Precursor

Find the unknown sum (e.g., 5 + 8 = ?) or the missing addend (e.g., 6 + ? = 10) in an addition equation. Find the unknown difference in a subtraction equation (e.g., 12 - 7 = ?).

Target

Solve word problems with numbers up to 100 using addition (e.g., Johnny has 25 suckers and buys 15 more; how many does he have now?) or subtraction (e.g., Johnny has 90 suckers and gives 20 away; how many does he have left?).

Successor

Solve two-step addition or subtraction word problems using an addition or subtraction strategy (e.g., Johnny has 25 suckers and buys 15 more, then he gives 10 to his brother; how many does he have now?).
