Math Class

In math class students are learning teen addition strategies.  One of the strategies involves making a ten.  In class today students cut apart green Make-a-Ten Cards to practice finding teen totals.  For example if they are adding 6+8, they start with the 8 because it's the bigger number, then take 2 from the 6 and add it to the 8 to make 10.  They'll have 4 left over so the answer is 10+4 or 14.
