Addition/Subtraction Math Fact Practice and Mastery
We have started regular practice of addition facts, working our way to mastery of sums with addends 1-10. The order in which we learn the facts is as follows. By the end, there are very few new facts to learn. This goal is only possibly through daily practice. Please help your child practice through oral practice, flash cards or use of a website.

Partial Sums Addition - Click on the button below to see a demonstration of this method. This method gives students the opportunity to understand the importance of place value. Please note that I am teaching students to start the partial sums in the one's place, not the ten's. I believe that this will help foster good and necessary habits.
