Today the Grade One class is bringing home a letter that explains our next unit in Math ~ involving number sense and addition/subtraction strategies.
We are working on developing strategies to help us understand addition right now. The first strategy is called "Counting On", where we put the larger number in our head and count on from that number. For example, if the question is 6+1=___, we would put the 6 in our head and count one bigger. So far we have worked on counting on by one and two.
I will keep you informed of other strategies we will be using once they are taught in the classroom. Thank you for continuing to support this at home.
