A great aspect of teaching math is that children have the freedom to solve problems using a variety of different strategies. The focus of this lesson is for young mathematicians to become aware of many ways of answering addition questions. Learners begin by solving a simple addition equation using paper and pencil, crayons, markers, number lines, manipulatives, or any other materials they may need. Children are then called on to share their solutions as the teacher creates a list of the strategies they used. Consider adding illustrations to the list and posting it in the classroom to support children as they develop their fluency with addition.
