2-digit addition and subtraction is easier when students are fluent in their basic math facts. You can find cheap sets of addition and subtraction flashcards at the Dollar Store to help your child practice math facts at home. The goal is for students to leave 2nd grade with all of their addition and subtraction facts to 20 completely memorized (response rate of less than one second) so they are ready for multiplication in 3rd grade. You have logon information for a website/app called Xtra Math to practice at home, but here are a couple of other virtual flashcard websites you can use:
