3 digit addition/subtraction

[bab]

Do you think this type of problem is too advanced for 2nd graders?

[sarahbear]

No.

[lime]

No.

[thinkofthesoldiers]

No.

[hopecounts]

No.
If they can add and subtract 3 digit should be doable with a bit of explaination of how carrying works, all within reasonable developmental expectations.

[gummybear]

No. My kid is in 1st and they've been doing 2 digit for a while. So it seems normal.

[cuddlyevil]

Nope.

[chickenlittle]

Nope. It's a second grade Common Core standard.

[indianchica]

My 2 second graders do it.

[EmilieMadison]

No. They've already started that in 1st grade at my kids' school.

One of my neighbors is ranting about her daughters homework and how it is too advanced for the age. So many people are agreeing! I am beside myself reading this shit!

[redheadk]

I've noticed that people that rant about their children's schoolwork always have supporters. The Stupids all come out of the woodwork.

Nope, it's a standard for 2nd grade.

It's a second grade CCSS. To be at standard students must be able to do addition and subtraction (numbers to 1000) with regrouping using a model (like a place value mat and base ten blocks) or by using the standard algorithm.

[joenali]

I do think that subtraction with regrouping can be a bit too abstract for second grade, and perhaps a bit developmentally inappropriate, but to work through these problems with manipulative a is perfectly acceptable.

No, when I was homeschooling 2nd grade that is when regrouping and adding 3, 4+ digit problems happened. It was early in the year (Fall) if I remember correctly.

[katfco]

I'm pretty sure that's when they're supposed to learn it.
