A6: standard algorithm, repeated subtraction, equal groups, partial quotients #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A5: My students break apart numbers or use area models very often #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A4: This number string uses application of the distributive property, leading into partial products #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A3: Area models have been very beneficial in visualizing the meaning of multi-digit multiplication. Students are able to get a true understanding before applying it to the traditional algorithm #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A2: Students are able to build off of one anothers strategies and apply those strategies to future equations and build their knowledge #SPSMathChat

A1:
30 x 16 = 480
480 - 16 = 464

A8: Think of math as a language and provide context to complete story problems! #SPSMathChat

@agb1741 I watched a video about this over the weekend and I thought back to it when I read that excerpt from the book!

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A5: Think of math as a language. If we provide enough context in the story, all students can be successful! #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A7: Students can decompose the number 17 in more than one way! Students can manipulate the numbers to make friendly numbers or use known facts! #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A6: Story problems allow students to use many different strategies to solve! This provides validation to many different ways of thinking! #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A4: I use quick images in daily math fluency! #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A3: 5 and 10 frames allow students to represent numbers in different ways. Ss can visualize the decomposition of a 5 or 10 in order to manipulate numbers! #SPSMathChat

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A2: Students will learn ways to decompose numbers and gain fluency with addition/subtraction facts when they see the patterns in different ways #SPSMathChat

A7: I want my students to have a growth mindset, knowing that failure can lead to success. That more can be learned from failure than from success! #iteachmo

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A6: reinforce school and classroom norms, teach and practice respect, value all input, JUST LISTEN to students #iteachmo

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A5: reflection, formative assessments, teacher feedback, EOY goal setting, celebrations for success #iteachmo

[Katie Bowers @MissBowersSPS]

A4: learning focus holds you and your students accountable #iteachmo
