MATH Extension Activity
Checking Your Work with
Opposite Operations
Now that we have taken the time to learn 1, 2, and 3-digit addition and subtraction I would like to share a strategy called Opposite Operations. This strategy will allow you to check your work independently and know, without a doubt that you are correct. Addition and subtraction are opposites but connected; this strategy proves that.
When you are done watching Mrs. Kittleson’s video about this strategy;
print and complete this worksheet. On a separate sheet of paper check EACH PROBLEM by using the opposite operation.
