Two Digit Addition

In math, we have been practicing addition problems with two digit numbers. We have learned various ways on how to solve the problems such as the following strategies: new groups above, new groups below, showing all totals, or using ten sticks and ones to create a drawing. 

After learning these different strategies, the students enjoyed participating in an activity. The students were paired up. They took turns rolling a dice twice to make a two digit number. Once they both had a two digit number, they added these numbers together for the sum. They had to check to check with each other to make sure that they got the correct answer. The students loved participating in this activity and look forward to it!
