Addition Strategies

We've been learning new strategies for adding. Most students have been using counting on in their head or with a number line. Yesterday, the students learned about doubles and near doubles. If you  know 6+6=12, then 6+7=13 or if you know 8+8=16, then 8+9=17.  Today the students learned how you can make a ten with a 10 frame so they can use mental math. I'm sure you've noticed that I'm circling any backwards numbers so your child can fix them and any other addition errors on their math practice pages.
