math help for my grandson
by ron/nj
Oct 19, 2011
He has math homework with 2 given numbers and find the third. For example: _____ + 9 = 17. I want to make a simple visual aid to help with the counting. I can use pennies or poker chips, but need an idea on something to implement it. The problems on his hw sheet use a scale with weights. Maybe I could make a simple seesaw? I'm a retired shop teacher but am lost in this second grade black hole. Throw me a rope, LOL. I was glad to see tnet has a second grade board. You may see me here again later in the school year.

thanks, Ron

Betsy Have him underline the 9, then use counters to count up to 17 (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17). The number of counters he used is the "mystery number"

Or, have him lay out 17 counters and then count out 9 and place a pencil to the right of it. The number of the counters on the right of the stick represent the mystery number. > > >...See More

Chena I didn't read all of the responses, but I would use fact families. The sum is the greatest number, so rearrange it into a subtraction sentence: 17-9=___, then find all of the number sentences for the fact family: 9+8=17, 8+9=17, 17-9=8, 17-8=9.
