Math Monday: double digit addition and subtraction

Today's Math Monday is focused on what my second graders are learning.

We began double digit addition without regrouping today. I was happily surprised how most of them caught on quickly!

We started by dividing the tens and ones places for the double digit number to help line our numbers up correctly and went for it!
