Have to end my chat but Gooooooo #5thMathChat

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@HollyMecher One of my middle school teachers said they came out w/labs...have you used those?

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@JennyKaste I share that type of problem with adults and it even takes us a bit to make sense and reason through. 2 divided by 1/4 is 8 ... but 8 one-fourth pieces in the 2 wholes. We've definitely been programmed to be "doers" of mathematics not so much "thinkers" of mathematics.

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@JennyKaste I should've read this before I typed! Totally agree.

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

In fraction division a major piece is definitely specifying units! Students can come up with a numeric answer but what does it represent. 2 divided by 1/4 = 8 but 8 what? #5thMathChat

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@JennyKaste That's awesome! Math and a reminder to kiddos to drink plenty of water!

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@JennyKaste @MsRodriguezHLS YES! Versus describe this fraction and how it relates to a whole number (greater/less than one)

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@HollyMecher @JennyKaste GASP @HollyMecher :P

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@JennyKaste I agree context helps give meaning to numbers. I find that when students struggle the first thing we do is try to relate it to a context they'll understand ... when I should've started there!

@ANavarro546220 @HollyMecher Welcome @RVElementary Peeps!

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@MsRodriguezHLS @HollyMecher Love that mantra! :)

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

A1: A balance of rigor in the mathematics classroom is essential so great start up question! Although procedural skill and application seem to be self explanatory, the conceptual understanding can be just as simple ... by asking students to make meaning. #5thMathChat

[Tara Fulton @tara_fulton1]

@mrsseibel5th We have a common theme! :)
