💪Strengthen Those Math Muscles – Addition Strategies with Two-Digit Numbers

Are you currently going through the process of explicitly teaching the different addition strategies to your students? This set of addition strategy mats focuses on compensation, break apart, hundreds chart, and jump strategies. These work mats are the perfect addition to your maths rotations; laminate them and have students use a whiteboard marker to use them repeatedly.

Structured Approach to Two-Digit Addition Problems

Addition strategies provide children with structured approaches to solving two-digit addition problems, enabling them to develop a deeper understanding of the concepts involved and become more proficient in their calculations. By employing strategies like the jump strategy, break apart strategy, compensation strategy, and others, children learn to break down complex problems into manageable parts, make connections between numbers, and develop mental math skills. These strategies build their number sense, enhance their problem-solving abilities and improve their accuracy and efficiency when adding two-digit numbers.
