About this Learning Opportunity

Get started with your Origo Box of Facts - Addition and Subtraction.  Each school received a number of these Kits that are designed to help students to understand how and why strategies work. Students will build confidence as they use powerful visual models to develop fluency with the number facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  Each card is coded based on the thinking strategy it develops. The cards included in the set introduce and develop every number fact for addition and subtraction.
