Thursday, 25 September 2014. Addition sort - regrouping or no regrouping. This is a little activity my class did this week. They cut out the headers and the sorting cards and (in small groups or pairs) decided if these are problems that require regrouping or not. They can then solve the problems if you wish. You could laminate these and the children could write on them with dry-erase pen or you could leave them without laminating and they can write on them (but not use them again! Or on the image below.

Here are some of the findings:. 55% of participants said they spend more than 2 hours planning and preparing at the weekend.
