FOR ADDITION
Parameters for Assessment

May include up to 3 digit + 3 digit questions.
Questions may only involve carrying numbers in the TENS place value,
Strategies for Teaching
. Traditional (pencil and paper)
156
+ 395
551
2. Adding Left to Right (starting with the hundreds)
Start on the left and add across each place value.
Example:
125
+243
Add 200 +100 = 300
Add 40 + 20 = 60
Add 5+ 3 = 8
And then add them all together = 368.
3. Compensation
This is where we change one number to make the addition easier by "compensating'.
Example:
99 + 172
Here we would take the 99 and turn it into 100 and then do the addition.
That would now make the question 100 + 172 = 272 and then we
subtract the I we compensated to get 271 for our answer.
4. Associative Property
This is where we are adding more than 2 numbers and we just re-arrange them to pair
easier numbers to add together.
Example : 27 + 45 + 33
So, we re-arrange the numbers so that we can make pairs of numbers that are easier to
add. It would look like this (27 + 33) + 45 and we can make (60) + 45 =105. This is
much easier than starting with 27 + 45 and then adding 33 to that.
5. Commutative Property
This is addition with only two numbers. It is much like Associative property except you are
re-arranging the numbers so they "appear" easier to add,
Example : 17 + 22 = 22 + 17
It is just another way of looking at it and starting with a different number to do the math.
6, Balancing by Zeros - This is a strategy for subtraction but thought it would appropriate to
include here.
Basically, we are using 10 as a base number in which to subtract other numbers from.
Here is an example;
15 -)' We add one to this top number because that is what we did on the bottom to get to 10 -4
- 9 4 We change this to a 10 to make it easier to subtract 4

E- We have the same difference on each side 4

FOR MULTIPLICATION
Parameters for Assessment
•
May include up to two digit x two digit questions.
Must be able to explain TWO different strategies for arriving at correct solution.
Strategies for Teaching
1, Traditional (pencil and paper)
23
x14
92
+230
322
2. Skip Counting or Repeated Addition
This is simply adding the given number to the previous answer as many times as needed.
Example : 2x5 is the same as 2 +2+2 + 2 +2= 10or by counting 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
3. Halving and Doubling ("Friendly Numbers")
This is creating friendly numbers to multiply with.
Example: 16 x 52
Half of 16 is 8 and double 52 is 104.
Now we have 8x 104.
Half of 8 is 4 and double 104 is 208.
Now we have 4 x 208.
Half of 4 is 2 and double 208 is 416
Now we have 2 x 416 (instead of 16 x 52) = 832!
4. Associative Property
This is where we are multiplying more than 2 numbers and we just re-arrange them to pair
easier numbers to add together.
Example: 15 x 9 x 2 can be re-arranged so we have (15 x 2) x 9.
Then we can do(30)x9=270.
5. Commutative Property
This is multiplication with only two numbers. It is much dike Associative property except
you are re-arranging the numbers so they "appear" easier to multiply.
Example: 15 x 3 is the same as 3 x 15. This way we can do 3x 10 (= 30) and 3 x 5 (= 15)
and them together quickly to get 45.
6. Distributive Property
This is like working through the brackets. The most common sample of this is the Egyptian
Box. (See attached sheet,)
Example : 23 x 41 is the same as (20 + 3) x (40 + 7)
Then you do 20x40= 800,20x7 = 140,3x40 = 120, and 3 x 7 = 21 and add the
answers all together. (Total = 1081)
In paper-and-pencil computation,
we usually start at the right and
work toward the left.
To add in your head, start at the left.
1.7+3.6
1 + 3 = 4
7 tenths + 6 tenths = 1 and 3 tenths

SUBTRACTING BY BALANCING
Mental Math - 2 Digit Multiplying
Teacher's Guide
In addition to the Egyptian box method worksheet for students to try multiplying with,
check out this website with alternate methods for 2 to 5 different ways to add, subtract,
multiply and divide.
The Many Ways of Arithmetic in UCSMP Everyday Mathematics
http:/f'ww,h--,math.nvu.edu/-braarns/links/em-arith.htmi
Check out the site below to see a neat way the Egyptians actually did multiply by using
doubling: http://members.cox.net'elessons2.IE
t!E3 I 2MathMulti l yin Measurin theE v tianWa df
For your reference, here are one properties of math that may help the students'
understanding with these menEal math strategies:
Commutative Property of Addition:
5+6=6+5
Associative Property of Addition
5 + 6 + 4 can be thought of as either
(5+6)+4 or 5+(6+4)
Commutative property of Multiplication
5x6=6x5
Associative Property of Multiplication
5 x 6 x 4 can be thought of as either
(5x6)x4 or 5x(6x4)
Finally there is the Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition which is our
Egyptian box method on the student worksheet:
5x(3+7)=5x 10=50
or we may do 5x(3+7)=(5x3)+(5x7)= 15+35=50
When we multiply 2 x 23, we can:
2x(20+3) (2x20)+(2x3)=40+6=46
This may make a simple problem more complicated, but if we work backwards , it also
simplifies.
Ex: (9x6)+(9x4)=9x(6+4)=9x 10=90
The above examples were taken from Stein's Refresher Mathematics 7`'' Ed., Allyn & Bacon , Inc. 1980
2 Digit by 2 Digit Multiplication
Explaining in different ways Activity
Name:
Rather than try to multiply numbers by using a memorized method below:
Ex. 52
x 16
312
520
832
Let's try to explain how we can do multiplying by breaking up the numbers into tens and
ones.
52 = 50 + 2 and 16 = 10 + 6 a)Then let's multiply each of the 4 numbers and write the
answers inside the spaces in the box. b) Lastly, let's add up the four numbers from the
boxes.
50

If we add up the 4 multiplications that we did in the box, we get
This question can also be written like this:
(50 + 2)x(10+6) = (50 x 10) + (50 x 6) + (2 x 10) + (2 x 6

BALANCING WITH DECIMALS
E
Which problem would
you rather do in your head?
They look different,
but they are really
the same problem.
Balance by adding 0.04.. .
3.42 + 0.04 -^ 3.46
6 + 0.04 -+- 2.
That's how balancing can
make a problem easier.
How could you make
these problems easier
by balancing?
