Lesson 3: Let’s explore compensation strategy

Compensation strategy involves rounding one number to make the number sentence easier to add. The amount rounded is either added or subtracted afterwards to compensate. Students will gain further skills and understanding on number flexibility and how to manipulate numbers to solve problems effectively. They will play a game called Boom Chaka-Laka

Lesson 2: Let’s add using bump strategy

Bump strategy is a strategy that manipulates an addition problem by adjusting one of the amounts to a round number, then doing the opposite to the other number to create an amount equal to the original number sentence. Students will play a game called ‘In the Zone’.
