These stratgies are closely linked to the groundwork k to 2 teachers laid with addition and subtraction. Particpants will become fluent using arrays, chip models, area models, partial products and the standard method to solve problems. Presenters will explain why each strategy builds on each other and supports students on their path to the standard method.
