Teaching Addition with Base 10

The video addresses the challenges of teaching addition with regrouping, emphasizing the need for multiple strategies to cater to different learning styles. It introduces the concept using base 10 blocks to provide a concrete understanding before moving to abstract methods. The video includes examples of solving addition problems with regrouping and highlights the importance of understanding place value. It concludes with a drawing strategy and offers a free lesson plan to aid teaching.

Why is it important to teach multiple strategies for addition with regrouping?

• To give each student a chance to succeed

• To confuse students

• To avoid using the standard algorithm

• To make teaching easier

What is the base 10 model used for in teaching addition with regrouping?

• To teach subtraction

• To provide a visual and concrete understanding

• To make math more abstract

• To replace the standard algorithm

In the example of 68 + 37, what is the first step in using base 10 blocks?

• Exchange tens for ones

• Start with subtraction

• Write the problem on the work mat

• Add the tens first

When adding 68 + 37, what do you do when the ones place sum is more than 10?

• Regroup by exchanging for a tens block

• Add them to the tens place

• Subtract the extra ones

• Ignore the extra ones

In the example of 36 + 28, what is the result after regrouping the ones?

• 68

• 70

• 64

• 60

Why is it important to teach students to draw the base 10 strategy on paper?

• It makes math more difficult

• It is a faster method

• They won't always have access to manipulatives

• It replaces the need for understanding

What is offered at the end of the video as a free resource?

• A set of base 10 blocks

• A video tutorial

• A done-for-you lesson plan

• A free math textbook
