Q22- Schifter, Russell & Bastables (2009). Early Algebra to reach the range of Learners. #OSUElemMath

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@ClovettaC @Michellelorene1 Has your class done the Mat Man activity? We went through drawling a person by adding his "eyes so he can see" and "his hands so he can touch" while singing a little song. It was super cute and the students loved it.

@MsLeeABC123 @AnnRoFlo This reminds me of when big numbers are represented with words. It's hard to understand how much bigger 1 million is then 1 thousand of something unless you can actually the numbers represented. Things need to be represented in a way that makes sense and is familiar to students.

@MsLeeABC123 As a kid, I remember my mother explaining time to me by relating it to the length of a television show. When she told me we would be leaving 30 minutes from then, I responded that was such a long time to wait. She let me know it will go fast, it's only one tv show long.

@Michellelorene1 There is a book we have read in class a few times which that points out different shapes in our environment. For example a square as a window on a house and a triangle as a slide. Introducing these connections to students has gotten them to start doing this on their own.

@AshleyLanghals @AdobeSpark Modeling strategies for the kindergarten students opens their minds to different strategies that they can continue to use as the problems get more complex.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@AshleyLanghals @AdobeSpark Q20: In my kindergarten placement, modeling is used constantly in all subject areas. On Friday we modeled the counting on strategy while talking through some simple addition problems, "Since I know I started with three, I can begin counting there 4, 5, 6...." to find my answer.

@Miss_Heck @ChelseyAnglin I too remember PEMDAS, but have no memory learning why it is we are supposed to work through math equations in that particular order.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@themissahmad @missedwards321 @ChelseyAnglin @themisspeppers I completely agree with this. Timed math quizzes gave me so much anxiety, and I always felt that i wasn't good at math because I took longer than the average student.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@DelaneyMathews1 I don't know if my students would be able to do a guided invention strategy at their level of knowledge. Has anyone seen this done in a Kindergarten classroom?

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@DelaneyMathews1 In my kindergarten class, I haven't yet seen anything I would call guided invention. We often use memorization, reciting the numbers and naming the number symbols. Sometimes we use explicit strategy instruction showing students how to count manipulatives.

@MsLee70686573 @themisspeppers My CT uses Stick Man, Pot Belly, Hat on Top.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@Michellelorene1 @themisspeppers Versatility was so important to me as a student. Some math strategies simply didn't make sense, others were crystal clear. Not only does it help students click with the information, but it allows them understand that their strategy is just as correct as another.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@MissTrigg_Cbus I really like the idea of giving children time to solve the problem independently and then showcasing multiple different strategies to the class. It shows students that there are multiple ways to solve problems while also expanding their understanding of the problem type.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@MissTrigg_Cbus @AnnRoFlo I really like this idea of a numberless word problem. There can still be math happening even when there aren’t any number present!

[MissRau @RauMiss]

We recorded our guesses ranging from 29-20000. We then counted every single block to find: when we stacked 9 towers that each had 10 blocks we had a total of 90 blocks!

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@TheMissHirsch This week we were using 10 block towers to measure items in the classroom. Students were stacking the towers and we began making guesses of how many blocks we thought there would be when we stacked all 9 towers together.

Discovering your students’ answers to these questions can help you create positive conditions for learning. They can be asked in a survey, morning meeting, or in small groups. https://t.co/jpPD1hepVJ

@missedwards321 @TeachWithMissA Visually representing problems was always extremely helpful to me as a student. I see this in my students as well. As many of my students cant yet use the count on strategy, a visual representation provides the opportunity to count on or count all depending on the students level.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

The students are practicing subtraction without even realizing it! They just think of it as helping the teacher figure out attendance for the day.

[MissRau @RauMiss]

@TeachWithMissA @MissMantel As a class we use a counting down and separating from strategies each morning as we do attendance. "We have 25 students in our class and 3 are missing, how many students are here?" We model counting down from 25 on a number line & phrase it as a take away problem.
