Math Fun With Addition & Subtraction: Strategies to Build Confidence & Accuracy

A strong foundation in the basic concepts of adding and subtracting is key for future success in Math. In this 2 week course, learners will meet twice a week for a total of 4 fun classes exploring addition and subtraction in depth. The classes are structured as follows:
*1st Class: Addition Strategies within 20
     -draw a picture
     -count on
     -number line
     -make a ten/ten frame
*2nd Class: Subtraction Strategies within 20
     -draw a picture
     -count back
     -number line
*3rd Class: Relate Addition and Subtraction
     -related facts
     -fact families
     -number bonds
*4th Class: Word Problems with Addition and Subtraction
     -problem solving strategies

Interactive slides, math songs, whole body responses, and hands-on manipulatives will be implemented to ensure that all students are actively engaged in the learning process. Students will be given an opportunity to practice the strategies learned and progress will be monitored throughout. This class is ideal for students who either have a basic understanding of addition and subtraction and would like some reinforcement and practice or for students who have an understanding of numbers to 20 and are just beginning to add and subtract.
