share with your teacher this week. You can take a picture or short video and 
send it via email.

Basic Addition Strategy Map 

● Repetition is key to solidifying 
basic number facts.  
● Practicing basic addition and 
subtraction facts and strategies 
is key to strong number skills.

be ready for grade three math.
