@MissRushOSU @MissUlbrichOSU Emily, I agree it's important to model the equations and show them physical examples to help them understand the concept of equivalence better. Rather than just telling them that they're equal, you can take it apart and show them the reason why.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissUlbrichOSU There are so many different kinds of storybooks like these. For example, there are tons of counting books like Five Little Monkeys or Chicka Chicka 1 2 3. Another type of pattern could be shape or color patterns. There are also addition books like Five Little Ducks #OSUelemmath

@smith11169 @MrCourtneyOSU Brooke, I agree that task 10 would be one of the most difficult tasks for students. It even took me awhile to realize how to solve it. I agree there would be a lot of scaffolding involved. For example, you could start with review of very simple examples of perimeter & build up.

@MissCarterOSU @MrCourtneyOSU Olivia,
I agree that teachers should give these students objects for measurement that are familiar to them. This is necessary so that they can conceptualize sizes. This also gives them practice with texture and touch.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MsSomervilleOSU @MissRushOSU Kennedy, I agree. I think sharing their invented algorithms allows the students to look at the problems from different angles. It'll give them a better perspective on the concepts behind the problem.

@ZhenWan72704088 @MissRushOSU Rose, I agree these are great activities/opportunities for families to work on math concepts at home! There are many times that money comes up in our daily lives. These small activities give the children real world examples while preparing them for dealing w/money in the future.

@smith11169 @MissSmithOSU @MissCarterOSU Morgan & Brooke,
Physical Representations are essential, especially for young learners! I think the egg container is a great way to teach these topics. Incorporating a variety of objects and materials exposes students with visual impairments to things outside

@MrCourtneyOSU @MsSomervilleOSU @MissCarterOSU friendly competition. This game could also be modified as a whole class/team work activity.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MrCourtneyOSU @MsSomervilleOSU @MissCarterOSU Kennedy & Peter,
First, this game gives students the option to think outside the box and to try many different strategies while practicing in an engaging activity that emphasizes the connections between addition, subtraction, and multiplication. I love how you mentioned

@smith11169 @ZhenWan72704088 @MissCarterOSU Rose & Brooke,
Even I struggled with place value in our 1125 class when looking at a problem from a students’ perspective. Giving authentic experiences with physical materials and working with them on composing and decomposing is the best way for them to master these skills!

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissDiCoccoOSU @MissUlbrichOSU @MissCarterOSU Megan & Angela,
Virtual Base ten blocks are a great way to integrate technology into the math lesson. This gives students another form of manipulative that could be more engaging and could appeal to students who are really into computers.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissRushOSU @MissJonesOSU @MissCarterOSU essential and authentic conversation that could put the concepts into perspective.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissRushOSU @MissJonesOSU @MissCarterOSU Hannah & Emily,
I also have experienced teachers getting angry when I do not solve the problem the “right way”. We have discussed in class the importance of finding multiple reasoning strategies. This also gives students ownership of their ideas, confidence, and a very

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MrCourtneyOSU @MissMorosky @MissCarterOSU class the importance of just sitting back and listening to the students in order to understand their reasoning process.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MrCourtneyOSU @MissMorosky @MissCarterOSU Kelsey & Peter,
I feel like when we first start working with students we don’t yet know exactly how to scaffold their thinking and we just want them to have the correct answer. As we have learned, the strategy is the essential aspect of solving the problem. We have discussed in

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissCarterOSU @ZhenWan72704088 @MissMorosky and stem further math problems from where they are. Some teachers focus too much on the process behind the problems or instruction, which sways away from the child’s interests and could limit their thinking and creativeness.

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissCarterOSU @ZhenWan72704088 @MissMorosky Rose and Olivia, I agree with both of you. I think bringing in students’ prior knowledge is so important. It is also essential to relate to their lives outside of the classroom as we have learned in other classes. Teachers should listen to children’s interests and thinking

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@smith11169 @MissMorosky Brooke, I agree that’s a great way to share out different ways to solve a problem. Almost like a pair and share, this strategy lets students see the process behind other strategies firsthand and practice explaining their thought process before showing it to the entire class

[Jessica Lemmerman @MissJessicaOSU]

@MissThornOSU @MeaganClardy Brie, I also see myself using this category. This gives the child opportunities to relate the problem to other concepts and to explain their strategy/thinking. This could also help build their confidence in their math abilities, especially if they find the error in their thinking
