[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They also should do simple things like add more digits and place values to concepts that they are teaching. Once a child can do double digit addition, there is no reason not to add other place values. The concept is the same and there is value in showing kids that its no big deal to add more numbers. This also helps with kids who do mental calculations easily and don't give a hoot about the multiple strategies for a problem so easy they do it in their heads anyway. [/quote] My kids school does add more digits and place values for the kids getting enriched math instruction. But I have seen parents complain on dcum that adding digits and place values doesn't make things any more challenging for their snowflakes. Basically addition is addition, no matter how many digits, and that simply isn't hard enough for their little geniuses. [/quote]
