Strategies to Solve.....

After teaching several mini-lessons to the class on different ways you can solve an addition problem on how to make the number 10, I noticed several students challenging themselves at their Daily 5 Math choice by solving using all three ways we have worked on. We have worked with using manipulatives, a number line and draw a picture. I was so excited when I "caught" these students using these ways on their own. Way to go class!



This student wrote her own number line at the top of her dry erase board to solve addition sentences!




This student chose to draw a picture to help solve her addition sentences.




These two students were using manipulatives to solve addition sentences to 10!
