Tips for Helping at Home • Questions to ask:What is it that you don’t understand (havethe student be specific)?What about putting things in order? For example, onestrategy a child might use is this:What ‘s 6 + 7? Well, I know 6 + 6 is 12, and 6 + 7 isone more than that so it’s 13.
Cover the resulting number on your 100 chart.
When students rely on memorized rules and procedures
that they do not understand, they usually donot estimate or double-check.
Another advantage is that students
tend to continue seeing two 27’s as whole quantities,rather than breaking them up into their separate digits and losing track of the whole.
