Section 25.3 Deliberate Practice: Addition Practice

Algebra is a skill, which means it requires practice to become proficient. But it will take more than rote repetition to get there. Deliberate practice is the thoughtful repetition of a task. For each of these sections, you will be given a list of specific skills or ideas to focus on as you practice thinking through the problems.

Focus on these skills:

  • Do the problem mentally before drawing any part of the number line diagram.

  • Draw out the steps of adding the different place values on the number line diagram.

  • Present your work legibly.
