Exploring Addition Strategies with Flip Flop Facts

In this video, second graders learn about flip-flop facts, a math strategy where the order of numbers in an addition problem can be reversed without changing the sum. The teacher explains the concept using examples like 6 + 5 and 5 + 6, showing that both equal 11. Additional examples with 3 + 2 and 5 + 4 further illustrate the concept. The video emphasizes that this strategy works for any pair of numbers, making addition easier and more intuitive.
