We are now working on adding multi-digit numbers. Today we learned 3 'helpful tips' for success in this area. Multi-digit questions will range from double-digit numbers to five-digit numbers depending on individual abilities.
Students must always:
1. Be aware of your place value (lining up the numbers properly for horizontal questions)
2. Remember when you need to 'carry over' (when the sum in any column is greater than 9 you must 'carry over' to the next column on the left.
3. Be accurate with your single-digit addition (small mistakes in adding can lead to frustration)
Please visit the 'student portal' link attached to the blog. Once you've logged in, you can search any of the doors for the Mathematics Icon. There will be a variety of addition games and activities for your children to explore. However, please remember to 'check-in' from time to time while they are playing. Not every game or activity monitors their success rate. Accuracy in quick single and multi-digit addition allows for increased success when more complex questions (word problems) are introduced.
