Addition and Subtraction Strategies: Thinking Flexibly
Wednesday, November 2nd 8:45-9:45 am-Room 418
In 2nd grade, we expect our students to have multiple strategies for addition and subtraction. So what are those strategies? In this workshop, we will explore the various addition and subtraction strategies that children use and their relationship to place value. Come learn about how the number line is a useful tool for addition/subtraction. We will also take a look at the Common Core expectations for addition and subtraction and discuss why flexible strategy use is so important!
