Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy badges because everything is color coded so it is easy to check to see if you are right. The speed badges are medium because the manipulative is easy to use and intuitive, but a bit tedious for some of the larger digits like 8 or 9.
 * 1) Use the color coding scheme to help as needed.
 * 2) The problem can be sped up by using a tablet or stylus to help you click on the manipulative faster.
