What's in each guide
- The school's method, not the old shortcut
- Area models, number lines, tape diagrams, making a ten: the steps use the strategy the worksheet asks for, so what you say matches what the teacher said.
- Words for you to use
- A couple of ways to get your child started and questions to ask along the way, without handing over the answer.
- The usual mistake
- The slip most kids make on this kind of problem, so you know what to look for.
- One more to practice
- A similar problem with different numbers, answer tucked away until you need it.
- Arithmetic re-checked
- When the answer is a plain calculation, it's recomputed in code before you see it.
