Our second-grade mathematicians at Martin Road are exploring different strategies to solve word problems with two-digit numbers. Students in Ms. Katus's class are using an open number line and a 100 chart to count by 10's to solve subtraction word problems.
You can get creative at home and practice this skill with your child. Ask your child to pick 2, two-digit numbers and a category such as books, apples, pencils, or stamps. Create a word problem together using the numbers and category and decide whether you want to add or subtract!
