Beta

Addition and Subtraction for Multiple-Digit Numbers and Other Topics

Beta builds on the foundation in Alpha and advances to multiple-digit addition and subtraction. An important concept introduced in Alpha but expanded in Beta is the concept of place value. Understanding this concept is necessary for complete comprehension of multiple-digit operations. Our place value chart and math manipulatives allow your student to see place value in action.
