Add and Subtract Several Numbers: how to help at home or in class
Chalk a number line from 0 to 50 on the pavement. Start your child at 20 and call out steps such as plus 9, minus 4, plus 6, one at a time, as they hop and announce each new position. Let them take the role of caller next. Keeping a running total aloud is the whole skill. They are ready for harder problems when they can keep the total in their head and find the sign without a prompt.
