Subtraction Strategies




As I am sure you have noticed, math looks a little different this year. Back in the olden days when I was in school we borrowed to subtract. Maybe you learned that way too? For the past few weeks we have been working on solving double digit subtraction problems using two different strategies. The strategies are called adding up in chunks and using models to subtract. The students are figuring out the strategy that works best for them.I am sure your child would love to teach these strategies to you!
