Using the 100 grid, tens and ones for addition and subtraction.Using 100 grids to solve addition and subtraction problems is a great way for students to understand place value and regrouping. Placing/coloring tens and ones on a 100 (or more) grid helps them represent the first number and then add or subtract the second. They can see how the ones turn into tens in addition and how tens "break" to subtract ones. For subtraction, the first number is represented on the grid and the students color

Arrays are a great way to introduce multiplication in grade 2 and 3. Playing with arrays will help students model multiplication as repeated addition and understand the properties of multiplication. It is very important that we help students visualize and understand multiplication early on so that we build a strong foundation to support the learning of division, fractions and so much more. Students need to make connections that will help them gain automaticity with multiplication and division f

Mental Math Strategies for Addition and Subtraction with visuals. Compensating, decomposing, balancing, and clustering. Teaching Mental math Strategies to students even in grades 3 and up is very important as it develops their flexible thinking and boosts their confidence in math. Being able to use the addition and subtraction properties to apply mental math strategies shows a deep conceptual understanding that will, later on, be applied to more advanced concepts. Some students discover menta
