Strategies for Addition and Subtraction Facts - Video from Math Mammoth

I go through several strategies to teach and help children memorize the basic addition and subtraction facts, such as fact families, the "trick" with 9, number rainbows, the doubles, and more.

I learned a few things today. Also I love your books and intend to use them for my 5yo. Do you have any plans to wrtie a book/math curriculum for the K grade?

[MathMammoth]

@mrsotter19 No, not at this point. I've written recommendations for K math at

Love your videos! Will you ever make a dvd based curriculum like Math U See?

Your books are great but my visual learners boys learn better through videos.

[MathMammoth]

@exodus007 I intend to produce more of these videos at YouTube... and hope to have some to match the books. But I doubt the curriculum will ever be totally video based.

[MathMammoth]

@Lhaptshering : you can embed it on websites using YouTube's embed ability. To download it, I don't personally know how, but try search in Google for how to download YouTube videos.

I'm 20 and i use my fingers to add. I actual learned something in this video where you said you can round a number like 8 to 10 and then add. Thanks.

I learned an awesome model today at an interview, of all places. The "as compared to" model for subtraction. Take "7 - 2". This can be read as "7 as compared to 2", which leads to an answer of "they are comparably 5 apart".

It also works for subtracting negatives! "7 - -2" can be read as "7 as compared to -2", which leads to an answer of 9 since 7 and -2 are comparably 9 spaces apart!

So awesome!
