Understanding Part-Part-Whole Tables

The video tutorial introduces the concept of a part-part-whole table using colored counters. It demonstrates how to use these counters to form addition and subtraction sentences, emphasizing the relationship between parts and the whole. The tutorial also explains the concept of fact families, showing how addition and subtraction are interconnected. By moving counters between parts and the whole, students learn to visualize and understand basic arithmetic operations.

How many red counters are placed in the first part of the table?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five

What is the total number of counters in the whole after moving all counters?

• Eight

• Seven

• Six

• Five

In the new table, how many yellow counters are on the right side?

• One

• Two

• Four

• Three

What happens to the counters when they are moved back to the parts?

• They disappear

• They change color

• They remain the same

• They double

What is the subtraction sentence when three yellow counters are moved back to the part?

• 4 - 3 = 1

• 7 - 4 = 3

• 7 - 3 = 4

• 3 - 4 = -1

What is the sum of the parts in the fact family?

• Eight

• Six

• Seven

• Five

Which of the following is a correct fact family relationship?

• 3 + 4 = 6

• 7 - 4 = 2

• 4 + 3 = 8

• 7 - 3 = 4
