Rocket Math adds something new: Addition\u2014Learning Computation<\/strong><\/p>\n

After becoming fluent with addition facts the best way for students to retain the knowledge of those facts is by doing addition computation. Rocket Math has added a new program to the Universal Subscription that teaches addition computation. \u00a0If students have not been taught addition computation, this program breaks it down into small, easy-to-learn steps that are numbered in a teaching sequence that leaves nothing to chance.\u00a0 There is an placement assessment that can be given to figure out where the student should begin in the sequence.<\/p>\n

Note that the number for each skill gives the grade level as well as indicating the teaching sequence.\u00a0 Skill 2a is a 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0grade skill and after skill 2f is learned the next in the sequence is skill 3a.\u00a0 The sequence of skills is drawn from M. Stein, D. Kinder, J. Silbert, and D. W. Carnine, (2006)\u00a0Designing Effective Mathematics Instruction: A Direct Instruction Approach (4th<\/sup>\u00a0Edition)<\/em>\u00a0Pearson Education: Columbus, OH.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>(1b) Adding 1-, or 2-digit numbers; no renaming<\/p>\n

(2a) Adding three single-digit numbers<\/p>\n

(2b-c) Adding 3-digit numbers; no renaming<\/p>\n

(2c) Adding 3-digits to 1 or more digits; no renaming<\/p>\n

(2d) Adding three 1- or 2-digit numbers; no renaming<\/p>\n

(2e) Adding two 2-digit numbers, renaming 1s to 10s<\/p>\n

(2f) Adding 3-digit numbers, renaming 1s to 10s<\/p>\n

(3a) Adding a 1-digit number to a teen number, under 20<\/p>\n

(3b) Adding two 2- or 3-digit numbers; renaming 10s to 100s<\/p>\n

(3c) Adding 3-digit numbers; renaming twice<\/p>\n

(3d) Adding three 2-digit numbers; renaming sums under 20<\/p>\n

(3e) Adding four multi-digit numbers; renaming, sums under 20<\/p>\n

(4a) Adding a 1-digit number to a teen number, over 20<\/p>\n

(4b) Adding three 2-digit numbers, sums over 20<\/p>\n

(4c) Adding four or five multi-digit numbers, sums over 20<\/p>\n

For each skill there is a suggested Teaching Script giving the teacher\/tutor\/parent consistent (across all the skills we use the same explanation) language of instruction on how to do the skill.\u00a0 The script helps walk the student through the computation process.\u00a0 For the teacher, in addition to the script, there are answer keys for the five worksheets provided for each skill.<\/p>\n

Each worksheet is composed of two parts.\u00a0 The top has examples of the skill being learned that can be worked by following the script.\u00a0 After working through those examples with the teacher the student is then asked to work some review problems of addition problems that are already known.\u00a0 The student is asked to do as many as possible in 3 minutes\u2014a kind of sprint.\u00a0 If all is well the student should be able to do all the problems or nearly all of them, but finishing is not required.\u00a0 Three minutes of review is sufficient for one day.<\/p>\n

There are five worksheets for each skill.\u00a0 Gradually as the student learns the skill the teacher\/tutor\/parent can provide progressively less help and the student should be able to do the problems without any guidance by the end of the five worksheets.\u00a0 There are suggestions for how to give less help in the teaching scripts. \u00a0Thumbnail previews can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
