We are learning more addition and subtraction mental math strategies!! We have now learned 10 different strategies. A collection of these came home previously and sending home a new sheet to add to it. It is also posted below for reference. Please use these at home to help with our math work that comes home and to practice these strategies when you get a chance to build our skills of our math facts! Students are loving the math challenges that are presented and should be proud of all they are learning!
The past couple weeks have been focused on learning our doubles facts! This has been tricky but we are really starting to get it and not just use the Count On strategy. Count On and Count Back are really if no other strategy is available but still need a plan B! Next week, we will be focusing on Subtracting Neighbours! When we subtract neighbours on the numberline, we always end up with one! We will be focusing on this throughout the week and reviewing all strategies on Thursday. Friday we will have our 5 question quiz to see how we are doing as we continue to learn and apply these strategies.
