Math Matters in March!
Second Grade Number Talks
Our second graders have been practicing many mental math strategies for addition and subtraction. Some of these strategies include making tens, using doubles or near doubles, and compensation. The kids love to subtract on an open number line by hopping back by a friendly number or hopping back to land on a friendly number! Through many experiences, the students have learned to decompose numbers into parts in order to make their work easier for them.
