Addition Strategies

When we begin our year off learning new addition strategies and we add them to the anchor chart as we go. Eventually, this is hung up in the classroom for students to reference throughout the school year.

We also are able to use this for our Number Talks during the week. Students can use any strategy they'd like to help them solve a problem that is posed. If you want to see an example of a Number Talks activity, you can click the link above and it will direct you to YouTube.

All I do is check the assignment after they turn it in and then grade it from Seesaw by adding the grade in the comments. I've added a few examples of assignments that I've created.
