[quote=Anonymous][quote]Fine, objects. Nonetheless, four good ways for first-graders to do addition -- yes?

In any case, there is no Common Core standard that says "First-graders must know four different ways to add." The Common Core standard is:

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6 
Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 - 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Again, I don't think that any of these strategies is too hard for a first-grader. And if the first-grader's worksheet says, "Find the answer to 6 + 7 by creating an equivalent but easier or known sum", that's a curriculum problem

These are teaching strategies.  These should not be standards.[/quote]
