Lesson Overview
Students will solve real-world word problems about planting and using seeds in a spring garden, practicing both addition and subtraction strategies for numbers up to 1,000. They will use base-ten blocks, expanded form, the standard algorithm, and number lines to find sums and differences, and represent their solutions visually.
Essential Question
