Addition+and+Subtraction

**__Teaching Addition and Subtraction__**   * The most important thing to remember when learning or practicing the concepts of addition and subtraction is to use manipulative (physical objects that are used as teaching tools to engage students in the hands-on learning of mathematices). By using manipulatives, you as students are able to master basic facts.
 * Fact families can be a difficult concepet for students to understand, so here is an activity to help them master the concept. I teach students that in a fact family there are four number sentences which use only the three numbers. For example, 2,4,6 make up a fact family.

2+4=6 6-2=4

4+2=6 6-4=2

-As a student do you think you could come u with a family fact? Use three numbers and come up with a family fact.
