Travis Brooks, a second grader, is using manipulatives to solve problems aligned with the math standard MA.2.NSO.2.1: recalling addition facts with sums up to 20 and related subtraction facts with automaticity. 19 – 9 = ___ or 9 + ____ = 19 By using tools like counters, Travis can visualize the numbers, practice different combinations, and build a solid foundation in addition and subtraction facts. This hands-on approach helps him develop speed and accuracy while making math fun and engaging! Keep up the great work, Travis!
