What Was the Number? Form C
Students need to listen/read and then 'think backwards'. This may be done in two ways. A teacher may read each problem, 2 or 3 times, and students listen, analyze and compute the answer, write their answer on a paper or whiteboard and hold up so the teacher may see it. Or, the student, or pair of students may read, discuss, analyze and compute the answers - this may be done as a center to which the students rotate. The answer key is provided.

Teaching style
My teaching, and now my tutoring, has morphed to incorporating visuals and hands-on activities, mental math and worksheets to help students 'see' the math concept, understand it and then practice the topic. I also have developed over 250 sets of flash cards for students to practice dozens of topics.
My goal for having a store in TpT is to provide teachers and homeschoolers with very helpful materials so they can help students 'see' and understand the concepts and then practice, practice, practice to develop speed and accuracy.
