Addition & Subtraction Made Clear: How to Build Understanding and Fluency for Every Learner

Description

Supporting students in addition and subtraction isn’t about racing to answers — it’s about helping them build understanding, confidence, and the strategies that make math meaningful and memorable. In this on-demand training, you’ll learn a clear path for teaching math facts and computation that works for all learners, especially those who learn differently. You’ll walk away with routines, visuals, and language you can use immediately to strengthen number sense, strategy use, and recall — without overwhelm.

✅ By watching, you’ll learn:

• Build number sense through simple, powerful routines

• Strengthen addition & subtraction using patterns, dice, and ten-frames

• Teach the meaning of the equal sign so equations make sense

• Support students in explaining their thinking with confidence

• Link early numeracy to multi-digit addition & subtraction
