This week we scattered the cards and played speed pick, cards that add to 10. Some of the group do not seem to have this basic knowledge, while the ones who do, it helps their speed recognition. We also used cubes and whiteboards to find all the 10's facts, with the students seeing the 1-10 pattern.
In an effort to help them understand place value in addition and subtraction problems, especially crossing the 10's, I used the abacus and 100's board. Both were useful although I would like to find some more material ideas.
However most importantly the students are acting more confident and showing more growth mindset when thinking about themselves as mathematicians.
