Quick recall of basic math facts is essential as students progress into higher level computation. However, for many learners, simple memorization is not effective. They need strategies to figure out answers quickly in ways that make sense to them. A good sense of addition should lead to a complete understanding of subtraction, as well. In these lessons, we will cover simple techniques to decipher the subtraction facts under 20. Students will learn the strategies and then practice them through collaborative games. They will also learn that some math problems can use multiple strategies to determine the answer. After each lesson, the students can take a timed math facts test on their own to show how much quicker this skill is becoming. The course objective is for learners to gain confidence and enjoy the skill of simple subtraction.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in mathematics. Each student has different learning styles and simple memorization is not always the best way for a child to recall basic math facts. I have used these mental math techniques in grades 1- 3 classrooms and seen excellent results.
