Counting Up and Counting Back


Today in math we learned two strategies for subtracting: Counting Back and Counting Up. For the Counting Back strategy students learned to put the BIG number in their head and count backwards.  For the Counting Up strategy students learned to put the smaller number in their head and to count up to the larger number.  Students also learned that when the numbers are close together it is easier to use the counting up strategies and when numbers are far apart it is easier to use the counting back strategy.
