Math Strategies

Today we reviewed and practiced 5 different math strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. Hope you watched us on Seesaw ;)




The vast majority of our classroom said their favourite strategy to solve math problems were using vertical equations. Ask your child their favourite strategy. In class, I always encourage them to use manipulatives and our Montessori materials to solve complex math equations. Below are two videos you can watch with your child to review the key concepts of addition and subtraction when using materials, equations and showing their work with symbols and tally marks.

Our school is participating in the 31st Annual Mayor’s Food Drive. We will be accepting non-perishable food items for donation to the Calgary Food Bank at all of the performances and throughout December until December 19.
