[quote=Anonymous]Singapore Math emphasizes making 10's. So in in one example 8+7 the only choice to solve is doubles plus/minus one. I use Singapore Math with my first grader and he has been taught to see the problem as the 8 needs 2 more to make a 10, 7-2 is 5 so 8+7 = 10+ 5= 15. Now that he is working in the second grade book he has no problem mentally adding by grouping larger numbers into 10's. So 28 + 37, he can rapidly switch to 28+2 = 30, 37-2 =35 so 30 + 35 =65. Or he can switch it to 50+ 15=65. I don't think kids should get marked down because they manipulate the numbers a different way.[/quote]
