In this twelve weeks, 24 sessions that meet twice [2X] a week "addition and subtraction the FUN way!" learners will gain an understanding of addition and subtraction fact families. They will listen to addition and subtraction stories read by the Teacher, act out and retell stories, learn facts by seeing pictures of each number character for easy recall and memorization of basic facts through 10 plus 10 [and higher]. Learners will gain an understanding of each operation [addition, subtraction] and the process through the grouping of manipulatives, manually moving and drawing various objects, using a white board, graph paper, cubes, tiles or blocks, skip counting and finger tricks as they develop math concepts. Learners ready to tackle simple multiplication concepts will move on to the next level. When they are ready, learners could advance to MATH Fact Families: A Picture Method of Learning Multiplication & Division Facts. 

Learners are encouraged to enroll in this course, MATH Fact Families: A Picture Method of Learning Addition & Subtraction Facts as many times as needed to ensure, not only that they know the addition and subtraction facts, but place value, regrouping, how numbers work, how these two operations work together that build the foundation for multiplication and division operations. This course is repeated every six weeks.

The goal of this Math class is to help each learner understand the math that they see. Learners learn much easier using visual and kinesthetic methods that are represented by 3-D manipulatives, blocks, cubes, legos, or coins which are all invaluable tools for helping the learner see how Math facts work together. 

Whether the learner is new to addition and subtraction facts or needs to gain a clearer understanding, practice memorization and soar to the top of their class, this MATH Fact Families: Picture Method of Learning The Addition & Subtraction Facts is just for you.
