We just recently finished up our chapter on addition. Our goal is to try and get the students to
become less dependent on a number line.
We have been practicing the “counting up” strategy instead, and we have also been memorizing our doubles facts. To use the "counting up" strategy, students slap their lap on the first
number and count up from that number until they get the answer. Once they get the hang of it they usually become
less reliant on their number lines. To
encourage students to memorize their facts, and become a little quicker solving
them, we have been playing “Around the World Addition.” Games are always much more motivating than
just pencil and paper worksheets, and much more fun too!
They also learned to solve addition problems with three
addends. Ms. Rosenberger used ice cream
scoops to demonstrate the steps in solving this type of problem. When all else fails food always gets their
attention!
Their ice cream cones turned out adorable and they had a
great time making them and learning how to add three numbers. J
