Math-Partial Sum and Column Addition

Today we will be exploring two methods of addition that students may or may not have been exposed to in the past, the partial sums method and column addition method. Research shows that greatest learning comes when we teach someone else. I light of that I am going to ask that the students attempt to teach you these methods at home tonight or tomorrow night. This could be just simply a show and tell by your child or they may get crazy and give you problems to complete and then check your work!

The two methods are explained in the Student Reference Book on p. 13.

Thanks for your participation in your child's mathematics learning.

Mr. Nielsen
