Abstract

We made it fun and made it work! Children in our first-grade classes mastered 72 of the 100 addition facts by the middle of first grade. The facts learned were of four types: “count ons” (facts having addends of 1, 2, or 3), “zero” facts, 10 sums, and doubles. Mastery was defined as a twosecond response to a given addition fact. The school district also lent its support and gave permission to delay the formal teaching of subtraction until the second semester. The foHowing sequence of activities serves as an outline of the approach that was taken.
