Math Clue Cards

Students have been exploring math clue cards to help them explore several strategies for solving addition problems.  Currently we are working on the strategies of making a ten and using doubles (doubles +/- 1 or 2 for some).  The students are not meant to master each strategy but rather be exposed, try out and see what works best for them as an efficient mathematician.  Copies of these cards come home as we explore the strategy in class.  I have sent ziplock baggies along to store them in, this is an easy way for your child to show you what they are working on in the classroom and practice as well.
