 Think of a swimming pool.

Cognitive Complexity



Low Complexity

Relies heavily on the recall and recognition; computation 

Moderate Complexity

Involves flexible thinking and usually multiple operations; problem solving 

Which Day of the Week Were You Born?

 What are your thoughts about this activity?

 Were you amazed at the outcome?

 What would be the depth of knowledge for this activity? Justify your answer.

Foundational Number Concepts

 Inclusion -If you ask a child to bring you 5 toy trucks and he brings you the fifth truck that he counts, he may not understand that all 5 trucks are included in the entire set of trucks. The fifth truck is only part of the set.

 One-to-One Correspondence mastered the skill.

-The matching of one number to one object. Children who call numbers at a faster or slower rate than they are able to point to, may not yet have

Foundational Number Concepts

 Conservation of Number -Children have acquired conservation of number when, for example, they recognize that a group of objects clustered tightly together still contains the same number of objects when spread over a larger area.

 Number Sense and Relationships counting.

- Just like learning to read, learning to count requires numerous opportunities for purposeful

Give Me Five!

Table Talk Activity:

 What do you know about five?

 The answer is 5, what is the question?

Sets of Five

 Write the number 1 on an index card  Place the card on the table  Place one counter above the card  Write another number card that is one more than the first number  Place the appropriate number of counters above that card  Continue until you have sets of 1-5

Developing “Five-ness”

 Read the article, “ Developing ‘Five-ness’ in Kindergarten” and highlight the meaningful points.

 Discuss highlighted points with table partners.

 Compare learning experiences identified in the article, with your past instructional strategies.

 How does the depth of knowledge in the ‘Five ness” activities compare to the ‘Day of the Week” activity?

Create a Picture

 Create a picture using up to 5 colors.

 Complete the sentence below and write it on the bottom of the picture.

I used _______different colors in my picture.

Five Frame

Word Problems: Compare

 Sally has 4 apples. Jimmy has the same. How many apples does Jimmy have?  Sally has 4 apples. She has 3 more than Jimmy. How many does Jimmy have now?

Game

    Dot Cards 1-5 Shuffle the cards and give a set to each group.

One person takes a card, the others find a card that is fewer or more than.

Repeat so every one gets a turn.

Marilyn Burns, 2005

The standard for mathematics should be the same as the standard for reading-bringing meaning to the printed symbols. In both situations, skills and understanding must go hand in hand. The challenge is how do we help students develop meaning and make sense of what they do?” Discuss Marilyn Burns’ purpose in the statement above.

Literacy, Libraries and Learning

Why Connect Mathematics and Literature?

    Mathematics and literature bring order to the world around us Math and literature classify objects Math and literature emphasize problem solving skills Math and literature involve relationships and patterns 40

Addition and Subtraction Strategies

Participants will explore … – The use of invented strategies to solve multi digit addition and subtraction problems –The use of Base 10 blocks, partial sums, and differences to solve multi-digit addition problems – The empty number line as a method to focus on place value when solving subtraction problems

Invented Strategies Overview

 These strategies are personal and flexible for the students  Students will solve the same problem in different ways that make sense to them  “There is mounting evidence that children both in and out of school can construct methods for adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers without explicit instruction.” (Carpenter, et al., 1998, p. 4)

The Standard Algorithm

You’re not allowed to use it today

Problem 1

The two scout troops went on a field trip. There were 46 girl scouts and 38 boy scouts. How many scouts went on the trip?

– Van de Walle, 2007, p. 223

Problem 2

Sam had 46 baseball cards. He went to a card show and got some more cards for his collection. Now he has 73 cards. How many cards did Sam buy at the card show?

– Van de Walle, 2007, p. 223

Problem 3

There were 84 children on the playground. The 37 second-grade students came in first. How many children were still outside? – Van de Walle, 2007 p. 225

Problem 4

Tommy was on page 67 of his book. Then he read 58 more pages. How many pages did Tommy read in all?

– Van de Walle, 2007, p. 222

What do you think?

 What are the advantages of using invented strategies?

 What are the disadvantages of using invented strategies?

 What depth of knowledge does this activity lead to?

Getting Students to Invent Their Own Strategies

      Utilize word problems -Notice the wording involved in the previous problems Allow plenty of time Listen to different strategies Have students explain their methods Record verbal explanations for others to model Pose problems to be solved mentally

Transitioning to “New” Standard Algorithms

Using Base -10 Blocks for Addition –For each problem, one person of the pair should be the “doer” and the other person the “recorder.” –Keep a “written record” to translate what you do with the blocks into a paper-and pencil algorithm .

Base-10 Blocks as a Model

Problem 1: 27 + 58 10 10 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + 10 10 10 10 10 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Problem 2: 24 + 46 Problem 3: 17 + 34

Partial Sums

32 + 29 = (30 + 2) + (20 + 9) = (2 + 9) + (30 +20) = 11 + 50 = 61

32 +29 11 +50 61

Partial Sums: Focus on Place Value

3 2 + 29 = ( 30 + 2 ) + ( 20 + 9 ) = ( 2 + 9 ) + ( 30 + 20 ) = 11 + 50 = 61

3 2 + 29 11 +50 61

Partial Sums

+ + 3276 4785 7000 900 150 11 8061

Using Base-10 Blocks for Subtraction

Using Base-10 blocks and place-value charts to develop the traditional algorithm for subtraction.

Problem 1: 73 – 26 Problem 2: 60 – 32

Partial Differences

73 – 26 = (70 + 3) – (20 + 6) = (60 + 13) – (20 + 6)= (60 – 20) + (13 – 6)= 40 + 7 = 47

60 13 73 -26 7 + 40 47

Jigsaw Strategy: The Empty Number Line
