Addition Strategies for Common Core Math


HOW DO YOU LIKE TO TEACH ADDITION STRATEGIES?

According to Common Core Standards, 2nd graders must be able to add and subtract within 100.
Last week, in addition to math facts fluency practice, we began our strategy instruction for addition.  

I find that Guided Math groups work really well for both me and my students. We focus on one strategy at a time.  The strategies we use are:
               
                1.  Open Number Line
                2.  Base 10 Model Representation
                3.  Splitting Tens and Ones

Last year, I got a lot of questions from parents about the different strategies that we were using in class. This year, I put together some parent informational sheets along with practice worksheets that can be used in class or for homework.

I had conferences this past week and many of the parents commented on the usefulness of the handouts.
For a FREEBIE, click on the first picture below...  For the whole packet including handouts and worksheets, click the second picture.

I WOULD LOVE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE STRATEGIES YOU ARE USING IN YOUR CLASSROOM - I love collecting new ideas!
