Q10: #OSUElemMath

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@harrold_hannah @MissErinOSU Yes, peer collaboration help the children to learn from each other. Authentic learning will happen in this settings rather than explaining every step of the way by the teacher.

@MissErinOSU A9 #OSUElemMath: In fractions unit, using terms such as denominator and numerator instead of bottom number and top number will make a great impact on children’s mathematical understandings.

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissErinOSU In fractions unit, using terms such as denominator and numerator instead of "bottom number and top number" will make a great impact on children’s mathematical understandings (2/2).

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissErinOSU A9 #OSUElemMath: Introducing the proper terms and its meanings are important for children to develop number sense and to increase their depth of understanding (1/2).

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissErinOSU Introduce the proper terms and its meanings are important for children to develop a great understanding of their problems (2/2).

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissErinOSU Once, when I was teaching my children fractions, I remember I told them "bottom number and top number". Later on, when I placed special emphasis on the correct terminology, as using proper terms and their meanings to students; understandings of current and future material (1/2).

@__missarmstrong @miss_shelbyg A8: #OSUElemMath: Hi Rachel, yes, allowing them invent their own strategies when solving problems help them to deepen their understanding of solutions.

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@miss_shelbyg A8: #OSUElemMath: Another method for solving this problem would be using Double Number Line like,

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@miss_shelbyg A8:#OSUElemMath: By using Multiplication Coordination Strategy, the solution would be 5 ÷ 8 = 5/8. But his method is so hard for young children to visualize. (2/2)

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@miss_shelbyg A8:#OSUElemMath,Teaching students about fractions using Equal Sharing Method help them to visualize the mental models for fractions. Ex: In chapter 2, for question 8 people want to share 5 pizzas so that each person gets the same amount. How much pizza would each person get?(1/2)

@misskalyanova A7: #OSUElemMath My question is, how she would solve if the question is a Partitive Division Problem? Ex: Sierra has 48 beetles, she puts them into 4 jars with same number of bettles, how many beetles should she put in each jar?

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissSarahOSU @misskalyanova Hi Sarah,
That was a great question! She uses the adding strategies to solve a multiplication problem. She heavily relied on her Invented Algorithms of Direct Modeling with Tens strategies for addition in the process of solving this multiplication problem.

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@misskalyanova She uses multi strategies of grouping by ten by moving from counting by ones then to counting by tens and finally direct place value strategy. (2/2)

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@misskalyanova A7: #OSUElemMath She is solving the multiplication (extra) problem using the base-ten concept. She uses 4 ten-rods and 8 single cubes and then she added the tens blocks as 10, 20, 30, 40 and ones blocks as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 to find the total of 48. (1/2)

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@missckellyy @MissSarahOSU Hi Catie, That is very important to let the students to start solving the problems by trying out their own strategies. That helps them to solve any kind of problems and aid them to be independent thinkers.

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissSarahOSU Its like learning to play soccer by not touching the ball with your hands!! (3)

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissSarahOSU Teachers are just there to supply the essential resources and step aside to let them approach the problem their own way. This approach is very challenging to teachers who may observe students making mistakes and feel it hard not to correct them and help them out. (2)

[Dhamayanthy Naguleswaran @DhamayanthyN]

@MissSarahOSU A6: #OSUElemMath CGI is a process that revolves around providing students independence in their thinking . Teachers give challenging questions and students solve them using their own way of thinking. (1)

@MathRocks73 A2:that is true Twitter is a great place to learn new things. Professional community like OCTMATH where all the professional people who love math gather and share their knowledge with each other. It is a great learning community.
