    Today in math class, students learned how to use related addition and subtraction facts to solve problems with missing parts. They practiced using cubes to build trains of different colors representing numbers in addition and subtraction sentences. For example, students built a train with 6 red cubes and 7 blue cubes, totaling 13 cubes, to represent the problem 6 + ? = 13 and then used the train to act out the related subtraction problem 13 - 6 = ?.
