We Have Sense...Number Sense!

As we embark on our learning discovery in Chapter 2 of Go Math!, we are learning to use various strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. Students have practiced adding using a number line, estimation, and the break-apart method. Students are encouraged to use the strategy with which they are most successful. However, they will still need to have a basic understanding of the other strategies...just in case they ever need it.

Have your student explain each method to you while answering an addition problem. They have a lot of sense...number sense, that is. :)
