Kidlit Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My kindergartener is having a hard time grasping the concept of adding by tens---> 20 + 10 = ____; 30 + 40 = ____; etc. She can count by tens, but the addition is eluding her right now. We use RightStart math and she's in Level A. Does anyone have any suggestions as to supplemental games or resources to help this along? She LOVES to play games, so anything like that would be a real plus. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christine in al Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would ( and did) buy a set BASE TEN BLOCKS. It is a set of centimeter cube units, and tens rods, and 100s flats and 1000s cubes. I bought a set made of wood and they have been the missing manipulative for Right Start. just google Base ten blocks , If you can't find anything, PM me.

Kidlit Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks! I'll certainly look into this. Anyone have any quick suggestions that I could implement tomorrow? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atozmom Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Until you are able to order something like the pp suggested, making them out of cardboard. You could even color them to make them look more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
