This Fluency Activity is a part of the Lesson 13, Unit 4, Grade 1. In this fluency activity, students practice adding and subtracting within 20. The competitive nature of Race and Roll Addition and Subtraction promotes students' engagement while increasing their brains' ability to retain information (since the partners are trying to stand quickly). All students start at 0. Partners take turns rolling a die, saying a number sentence, and adding the number rolled to the total. For example, Partner A rolls 6 and says, "0 + 6 = 6," then Partner B rolls 3 and says, "6 + 3 = 9."
