[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's pretty much exactly what the prior several posts are saying. That it seems students should learn one way to add first before learning six other ways. Contrary to the way Common Core teaches math[/quote] This would be a bad way to teach beginning addition. For example, the first way teachers teach adding is to "count on". "Counting on" is fine for adding +1 or +2. But you do NOT want children to solve 5+5 by "counting on". You do NOT want children saying the number 5, and then counting on (their fingers) 5 more times.....6,7,8,9,10. The answer is 10! That would result in yes, children being very proficient at counting on their fingers to get the correct number. Children should master the counting on strategy just for +1 and +2 but then quickly should move on to the more efficient strategies (such as making 10s) for other facts. This is not randomly based. There is a specific reason why each strategy is worth learning. [/quote]
