Two-Digit: Addition and Subtraction: What Works?
Keyword(s):

Students are introduced to two digit addition and subtraction during the second grade. This is their first encounter with the idea of regrouping in computation. Previous computation has been with singledigit numerals in the basic addition and subtraction facts. Much groundwork is necessary in numeration before students are introduced to twodigit computation. Students must have an understanding of how tens and ones are related in our base-ten notation. They need many varied experiences involving regrouping 10 ones for 1 ten or changing 1 ten for 10 ones before an algorithm is even introduced. But how to introduce the addition and subtraction algorithms effectively is the real problem.
