Partial Sums Addition: A Free Interactive Resource
Share this post:
Are you working on partial sums addition with your class? You will love these dry erase math mats to practice this awesome algorithm!
This free resource (at the end of the post!) features gray bars to help students line digits up by place value, along with ample space to record partial sums in a variety of ways:
I always teach my students to begin with the ones place, then move to the tens and hundreds. This is a great help in getting students ready for the standard algorithm for addition they will eventually learn.
