Second Grade Success Kit

This module continues to work on mental calculation. The previous card deck, Concept of + – (1-12) taught the concept and used physical movement of the cards and numbers.

This module introduces how to move the numbers in your mind without physical movement or counting with your fingers. In a sense it is making the brain work harder.

After this module the child will be able to “carry forward” in their mind mentally. It will make the brain stronger and faster and continue to increase the confidence of the student.

After this module the child will be able to “borrow” in their mind mentally. It will make the brain stronger and faster and continue to increase the confidence of the student.

This module is another fun game to help practice the skills the child has learned so far. This will also enforce mastery of the concepts they just learned because they are practicing them while having fun. This is another module in a series of similar games that get progressively more challenging.

For this game, the digits of 1 to 10 are utilized. In this game there will be 4 digits on each card. The point of the game is to utilize each digit, and only use the digit one time, to solve by addition and/or subtraction to make it equal 12.

This game requires mental addition and subtraction and also uses algebra because you are utilizing more than just two numbers. This is a great game to play any time the child has down time. For example while going on a road trip or at a sibling’s activity. It is easy to pull out the pack and play!

We are now starting to get into slightly more difficult concepts of “carry-forward”. This module works on mental addition with double digit numbers.

Again, we are working to use mental calculation to strengthen the brain and solve for speed. After the child practices this module for 10 minutes a day for some time, they will be better than over 50% of the population at solving for double digit equations.

Again, we are working to use mental calculation to strengthen the brain and solve for speed. After the child practices this module for 10 minutes a day for some time, they will be better than over 75% of the population at solving for double digit subtraction equations.
