Sneak Peek :)

Hey everyone!  So I had planned a GRAND post but frankly... I am TIRED!  So the amazing and awesome post will just have to wait (it doesn't help that I get on here and then get sucked into all the other great blogs out there!).  

I have been working so hard on a new little pack that I CAN'T WAIT to print and start using!  It goes along with that post that I will hopefully have up in the next day or so :)

What is the topic you ask?

Double/Triple Digit (+) Addition strategies- without the traditional algorithm! 

So I leave you with a sneak peek:




I am looking for someone to take a look at it for me...interested??

  1. I would love to help if you still need it. It looks really interesting...and some kids are NOT ready for the traditional algorithm!

  3. Whoops, commented but then had to take it off because I copied and pasted the wrong tag on the end. Anywho I was saying that we are practicing this skill in my class at the moment and I think it is such an important thing for the kiddos to master. If you are still looking for testers I would be happy to give it a go.
    PS- ditto on getting sucked into reading fab blogs, here I am!

  5. This is our 2nd year teaching math this way. We are not allowed to teach it the other way. I am so glad there is someone else (not in our county) doing it this way. YEAH!!!

  6. Hey, Tori!
    I think I responded to your first hint at this (non)method. I'd love to take a look at what you're doing, and share what I did, as well. I have never had better success with addition and subtraction than this year, when my kids discovered their own algorithms.

    2. Yikes! Just saw your new post and response to my comments. My e-mail is brookegravett@pickens.k12.sc.us. Check out www.mathsolutions.com about teaching without algorithms, too. Marilyn Burns is "the bomb" (did that sound like I was 45 years old?)

  7. Hi Tori! :) I LOVE that you have created this unit... it's so hard to find resources to support 'other' ways to solve these problems. I see you have a handful of volunteers already, but I'd be happy to check it over if you need another set of eyes.

  8. We use everyday math series and this "partial sums" algorithm is a big part of the weeks. We are allowed to tea h then lots of different strategies but I've seen great success with this one this year. Lmlynes@gmail.com

  9. I am going to share this with the 2nd grade teacher across the hall. She will love this. Did you know that the book you shared about has a newly revised version. "Teaching Student-Centered Mathematics" Second Edition. I just got my copy this week and am excited to dig in. Liz in South Dakota lparce@hotmail.com
