I use to think that decomposing was a difficult and complex way to solve problems but now I think it’s an easier way to regroup and understand quantities.

This is such a foundational essential skill that is not as tricky as I initially thought.

I used to think that decomposing was useless. Now I think it is an essential not only for basic subtraction and addition but place values many digit number and more.

This is a more difficult concept for kindergartners to understand than I do now.

I realize that it is the LITERAL bases for everything.

Breaking numbers down and regrouping helps students to really establish the concept of adding as we move into larger numbers!

I used to think kinder was mainly just counting. Now I know kindergarteners dive way deeper into number sense with composing and decomposing and story problems.

Now, we think that using decomposing and a variety of other strategies to add and subtract large quantities is just as important as the standard algorithm.

I used to think decomposing and composing was too hard for them.

Now I think Place Value and Expanded Form are way easier for kids to conceptualize.

Kinder didn’t go Into word problems composing and decomposition

We used to think stacking up numbers and solving the "old school way"/standard algorithm was the only/best way to solve addition and subtraction problems.

I used to think that it was easier to stack and add.

I used to think it was only about regrouping.
