Mental Math Strategies:

This past week our math lessons focused on developing our mental math skills.

From our student's perspective Mental Math is:

  • Math done in your head
  • Math that is done in the mind, quickly and efficiently
  • Math that you understand so well that you don’t need to write anything down to do calculations/find the answer
Mental math improves computational fluency by developing efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility. 

Please see your child's Feedback Friday folder that went home today for additional information on Mental Math including grade 2  curricular expectations. The folder also includes games which are a great tool to use to practice mental math and develop fluency in computation. 

Please see the info. below regarding the different Mental Math strategies:
