I just finished and posted a 50+ page kit, Regrouping Round-UP! on regrouping two and three-digit numbers. I have found that lots and lots of practice with manipulatives and ten frames, coupled with discussions about the process, is an effective way to help children master this big skill in second grade. The children and I have had lots of discussions about names for numbers and how '4 tens and 2 ones' can be regrouped into '3 tens and 12 ones'. I want to make sure that the children understand the process, and they are not just doing it because that's what they're supposed to do. After many experiences using manipulatives, making anchor charts, and discussing the process, they are ready to polish this skill. Regrouping Round-Up! is designed to give that experience.
I'm having a giveaway on my Grade 2 Hullabaloo Facebook page. To win, like, share and leave your email address in the comments section. I'll choose a random winner tomorrow night at 8 PM (CST). Good luck, and I hope you win Regrouping Round-Up!
Blessings,
Susan
