shares

I am as well as then excited to endure starting a majority written report on Children's MathematicsI.  This is an first-class majority for unproblematic teachers.  The kickoff edition of this majority helped laid me on the path my career has taken from beingness a full general K-6 instructor towards beingness a math specialist.  It helped me acquire started amongst making math meaningful for kids as well as has shaped me into the instructor I am today.  I am excited to endure sharing the 2nd edition on my weblog as well as can't hold back to hear what everyone else regard close this book. 
I
If y'all are simply joining us, it is non to belatedly to bring together our majority study.  Grab a re-create of the majority as well as perhaps a friend or 2 as well as jump inwards when y'all are ready.  Also, if this Dec is simply to hectic for you, I volition endure starting around other majority written report the 2nd calendar week inwards January.  Read to a greater extent than details close both majority studies here.

Introduction as well as Chapter 1

stop teaching as well as start listening as well as I get got learned how to seize teachable moments.  When reading the introduction as well as the opening chapter what struck me most is how much of a dissimilar house I am inwards than when I read the kickoff edition of this book.  

Chapter 1 also reinforces my beliefs that students tin as well as take away to arrive at their ain cognition close mathematics rather than beingness taught a procedure.  "Without straight teaching on specific issue facts, algorithms, or procedures, children tin arrive at feasible solutions to a diversity of problems."  


Chapter 2: Addition as well as Subtraction: Problem Types

When the Common Core was kickoff published as well as I took a expect at Table 1 from the Glossary it was a existent wake upwards telephone telephone that my students were non beingness exposed to all the dissimilar occupation types for add-on as well as subtraction.  If y'all haven't checked out tabular array 1, y'all volition come across at that topographic point are TWELVE dissimilar occupation types for add-on as well as subtraction give-and-take problems.  When my students were kickoff exposed to around of these occupation types that I had been neglecting, they industrial plant life them extremely challenging.  Now I get got included them inwards occupation sets starting inwards the primary grades, working on double digit add-on as well as subtraction as well as going upwards through fraction operations.  What a deviation it has made!  

Chapter 2 does such a bang-up chore of outlining these dissimilar occupation types that I retrieve anyone who has looked at Table 1 inwards the Common Core as well as been confused should definitely read this chapter.  It provides the detailed explanation close the dissimilar occupation types as well as laissez passer around bang-up ideas close how to brand problems easier or to a greater extent than challenging past times playing amongst the wording as well as the positions of the unknowns inwards the equations.   

Please brand certain that y'all banker's complaint distinguishing betwixt the dissimilar types as well as knowing what they are called inwards a chore for teachers, non for students.  Don't pass fourth dimension trying to learn kids which form of occupation it is as well as what it is called! 

Chapter 3: Addition as well as Subtraction: Children's Solution Strategies 

I dear this chapter as well as I retrieve it has a lot of value for professional person development.  It is bang-up to read close dissimilar strategies as well as ideas kids get got but it is fifty-fifty improve to endure able to sentry the videos. I absolutely dear the nautical chart on page 41.  I retrieve this volition endure something I refer to often.  

What are your thoughts as well as ideas close this week's reading?!
