Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

General Information

Number: MAFS.1.OA.2
Title: Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction. (Major Cluster)
Type: Cluster
Subject: Mathematics - Archived
Grade: 1
Domain-Subdomain: Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Related Standards

This cluster includes the following benchmarks
Code Description
MAFS.1.OA.2.3: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract. Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)
MAFS.1.OA.2.4: Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
