[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are overthinking this, imo. I would back off w/ the add/sub. You also risk confusing your child.[/quote] I don’t think I am overthinking it. I don’t think it’s wrong or weird to want to teach an 8 year old 12+4 or 11-7 without counting on fingers. [/quote] If your 2nd grader is still counting on fingers then you need speed drills and facts. Recognizing addition and subtraction within 20 should be automatic. If you're talking about borrowing and carrying, just teach the standard old school way of doing it. You can explain it with place value blocks if you want a concrete representation.[/quote]
