Addition within 100: Compensation Strategy
By Cindy Aossey (KCM) & Funda Gonulates (NKU)
Using a Compensation strategy, students can solve an easier problem and then adjust
to find their
answer. In this video, we demonstrate how the compensation strategy could be used for one-and
two-digit problems using hands-on materials and visuals. For example, when solving a problem such as
39 + 26, a student could solve 40 + 26, then subtract one from the result to compensate for the
adjustment.
