DS doesn't use the counters or draw the counters/arrays etc, he just puts down the answer, when teacher sad he has to show work to prove he knows how to do the problem... I replied this was independent study, i'm teaching him @home, and i'm ok with him just putting the answer. when she insisted- I said "mark him down then, his test scores will speak for themselves"

enVision example 2nd gr:

Making 10 to Add 8
*make 10 to add 8.
use counters and your workmat.
1. 8+3=
2. 8+1=

one feels an impulse to soar!
