Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing addition and subtraction clue words: second graders often see 'how many left' and still add, or see 'in all' and subtract. Slowing down to underline the clue word fixes most errors.
• Skipping over unknown Halloween vocabulary like 'scarecrow,' 'broomstick,' or 'fangs' instead of using the rest of the sentence as a context clue to figure out the meaning.
• Forgetting to regroup when subtracting across ten, such as writing 15 - 8 = 13 by reversing the digits, which is very common at this stage of two-digit fluency.
