[quote=Anonymous]They do teach multiple strategies and that is part of the problem. When my son was in 1st grade, his teacher kept a list of strategies to add single digit numbers. I think they ended up w/ 9 or 10 strategies. The poor kids were overwhelmed and a lot of them asked, "Which one am I supposed to use?" I like the acronym KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). Maybe a few kids in his class could juggle all of these strategies in their head but most of the kids couldn't. I used to count of my fingers but that wasn't one of their strategies :)[/quote]
