The students will be working with Mental Math strategies this year. Here are a few examples of what they are about. The students have all brought home a handout on the strategies covered for the year.
Adding
Left to right
To determine a sum of 23 + 46, think 20 + 40 and 3 + 6
Compensation
Taking one number to the nearest multiple of 10 and then conpensate
To determine a sum 28 + 47, add 2 to 28 and subtract 2 from 47
to compensate, think 30 + 45 = 75
Using Doubles
24 + 26 is the same as 25 + 25
Subtraction Strategies
Taking the subtrahend to the nearest multiple of 10
and balance.
To determine the difference between 48 - 19 think 49 - 20
add 1 to 19 to make 20 and balane it out by adding 1 to 48 to make 49
Count up 62 - 45
A student may think 45 + 5, then 50 + 12 and 5 + 12 gives the
difference of 17. A open number line is helpful with this strategy.
