Strategic Math: Addition Facts 0 to 9
The Strategic Math Series focuses on how to teach basic math facts and operations to students of any age. Content is built upon the concrete-representational-abstract method of instruction. In this approach, understanding of mathematics is developed through the use of concrete objects, representational drawings, and an easy-to-learn strategy that turns all students into active problem solvers.
Addition Facts 0 to 9 provides a systematic means for teaching addition problems that involve only the numerals 0 through 9 and that contain no sum greater than 9.
In studies, students' computation scores rose from a pretest mean of 16 percent to a posttest mean of 98 percent. In addition, the speed at which students were able to make their calculations increased by 400 percent.
