Addition: Booklet 3 - Regrouping (carrying) into Four Digits - Student Workbook
Students create their own methods for solving arithmetic problems. They use concrete materials to build and prove their answer. Then they are asked to solve it a different way and to verify that answer. Circle Math, unique to the Patterns in Arithmetic series, is used to guide students to many discoveries and to create algorithms. Learners create, routinely look for, and discover patterns in numbers and shapes. They invent problems for themselves and others, estimate, predict, and look for a
