We are learning to round numbers to make adding and subtracting easier.

e.g.

25+ 23= 

25+25=50-2=48

We started with tens.

29+13=

30+13=43-1=42

Our new warm-up is going to be adding and multiplying using  these number sticks.

7x2=

3x2=

5x2=

6x2=

7+5=

3+5=

5=5=

6=5=

5x3=

6x3=

4x3=

0x3=

etc.

or plus 8
