Mental Math Strategies for Whole Number and Decimal Concepts: Grades 2-7 - 33915
Teaching students mental math offers a significant benefit: it teaches flexible thinking. Instead of memorizing steps, mental math encourages and fosters a true understanding of mathematics. Mental math emphasizes that math is more than a set of procedures; it's about grasping a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and flexibility in problem-solving. These strategies are essential for students of all ages.
