One way to work on this is to give a child a number (within the range the child should know) and have him come up with a number of different ways to get to that number or to break that number up. Example - 36 26 + 10 = 38 -2 = 20 +10+6 = 25+11= 46-10= 18+18= 12 6+6= 7+5= 14-2= 12+0= 10+2= 4+4+4= **Click on the link below to see the blog.** ** Goggles and Glitter in Grade 2 ** |
