Description
Help learners ages 6–12 build flexible mental-math habits with this teacher’s strategy guide for planning and teaching a lesson. Children practise recognizing doubles, near doubles, and pairs that make ten, breaking numbers into tens and ones, and solving addition and subtraction problems with strategies suited to their level. Model a strategy, practise together, then offer supported or independent practice while learners explain their reasoning and check whether answers are reasonable. Reach for this guide during focused math lessons or targeted practice when you want to strengthen number sense and confidence rather than speed.
