Math Strategies
Counting On
Counting on means that you start with the biggest number in an equation, and then count up. For example, in the equation 5+3, you want students to start with the “5″ in their heads, and then count up, “6, 7, 8.” This is to discourage students from counting like, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5…..6, 7, 8.” Students also need to be taught that if an equation looks like this: “2+6,” they still should start with the bigger number in this case “6″ and count up “7, 8.”
Making 10
The making ten strategy involves memorizing the number combinations that add to ten. This includes 7 and 3, 8 and 2, & 5 and 5. Again, it is important that students develop automaticity with regards to these facts so that when they see a combination, they quickly know that it is a making ten combination. Once students begin to use this strategy, “counting on” becomes unnecessary in some circumstances.
