Evidence-Based Approach in Textbook Revision: Understand Students’ Adaptive Strategy Use in Addition of Two-Digit Numbers
摘要
Addition strategies that build on decomposing and composing numbers in flexible ways contribute to students’ overall number sense. In many instances, these adaptive strategies are easier and faster than standard algorithms. Therefore, it is best to have students learn a variety of methods that they can select from as needed. Empirical studies suggest that students often choose efficient strategies provided they know any appropriate strategies for a given problem.
