Math is something that a lot of students in 2nd grade can struggle with. I downloaded this to scaffold for students at the back table. Even though the year is coming to an end, I am still assisting students and reviewing two digit and three digit addition and subtraction. Subtraction being the weakest point, this lesson and activity plan was perfect for a back table or whole group setting.
