Why is my child drawing so many pictures to problem solve, when they could just use the standard algorithm? This math looks so different from the way we learned it growing up. Your child learned about the base ten number system in kindergarten and first grade, but now in second grade, it is really time for them to apply this understanding to problem solving. In this episode, you'll learn how second graders learn to add with larger numbers, why it looks so different from the way we learned it growing up and what you can do at home to support them with homework, and building math understanding of these concepts. For more information, ideas and listening guides, visit my website: www.mathcoachconnection.com
