April 15th-19th

Help your child go beyond memorization of basic math facts! TALK about the strategies that can be used to add and subtract more EFFICIENTLY. Can your child explain each strategy?

The first five ADDITION STRATEGIES were described in a previous MCPES Newsletter. Here are the last 4 in a nutshell.

(5 + 4 = 9 Total Addition Strategies at MCPES!!!) Doubles Facts – When both addends are the same. (1st-2nd) 2 + 2, 5 + 5, 8 + 8, , etc. Near Doubles Facts – When addends are numbers next to each other on a number line. Use the doubles fact you know and just add 1 or subtract 1. (2nd) 4 + 5 (think...4 + 4 + 1), 7 + 8 (think..8 + 8 - 1), etc. Add 9 Facts – When adding with a 9, just take one from the other addend to make 10. Adding the amount remaining to the 10 is a breeze. (2nd) 9 + 4 (think 10 + 3), 6 + 9 (think 10 + 5), etc. Compensation Facts – This strategy involves decomposing one addend in order to make a 10. We can add with 10 SO easily! 7 + 5 (decompose 5 into 3 + 2, added 7 + 3 =10, then 10 + 2 = 12)

Watch for Subtraction Strategies in the near future! Questions? Contact Mrs. Whiteside, MCPES Math Support.
