Children's Mathematics Book Study: Part 3

grab the laid of problems I wrote.

If you lot are merely joining us, it is non to belatedly to bring together our mass study.  Grab a re-create of the mass together with perhaps a friend or 2 together with fountain inwards when you lot are ready.  Also, if this Dec is merely to hectic for you, I volition hold out starting about other mass written report the 2nd calendar week inwards January.  Read to a greater extent than details most both mass studies here.  

Here is the posting schedule for Children's Mathematics:
Dec 7: Chapters 1- 3
Dec 14: Chapters iv & 5
Dec 21: Chapters half dozen & 7
Dec 28: Chapters 8 - 10
Jan 4: Chapters xi - 13

I volition ship service each Lord's Day forenoon together with portion it on my Facebook page.  Please bring together inwards past times leaving a comment on my weblog ship service or Facebook page.  If you lot receive got your ain weblog together with desire to write a ship service most the mass that plant too!  Add your link inwards the comments department here.  Thank you lot to all who shared final week!

Chapter 6: Base-Ten Number Concepts

After existence introduced to the sentiment final calendar week of the importance of exposing kids to multiplication together with touchstone segmentation problems I was really excited to explore this chapter inwards to a greater extent than detail.  There are about fantabulous videos to sentinel together with about neat examples of problems that acquire kids thinking inwards tens.  I honey the make of problems presented inwards this chapter together with the examples actually got me thinking most how I tin inquire to a greater extent than base of operations 10 multiplication together with touchstone segmentation problems of kids at all degree levels.

Teaching Concepts versus Teaching Procedures

I receive got seen fourth dimension together with fourth dimension i time to a greater extent than how powerful it tin hold out for students to build their ain noesis together with I honey how the paragraph every bit the laissez passer on of page 91 supports this idea.  It is therefore tempting to instruct kids a physical care for or a dominion together with necktie it into a cute jingle because together with therefore it seems similar they "get it" correct away.  It is also the means most teachers were taught themselves together with the alone means most adults receive got e'er experienced learning.  As mortal who plant amongst kids over a bridge of vii years, I receive got seen start mitt how these rules don't concord upwards over time.  It for certain takes longer to allow kids prepare a expert conceptual agreement of math concepts, but it pays off big fourth dimension afterwards when they tin add together to their noesis rather than throwing out quondam rules together with learning novel ones.  

Number Words

When I start started educational activity math at the principal level, I hollo back feeling really frustrated past times the lack of agreement inwards reading together with writing numbers.  Even really modest numbers seemed to hold out super challenging for about kids to read together with write.  It merely seemed similar such an tardily science to me because I had been doing it for therefore long.  "As adults, nosotros receive got used position out words together with stride value for therefore long that nosotros no longer interruption to mean value most the fact that in that location is a divergence betwixt spoken position out words together with written numerals or that the same symbol tin receive got many dissimilar values depending on where it is placed inwards a numeral."  After I took about fourth dimension to halt together with mean value most all the nuances of house value together with of the English linguistic communication language, I realized why my students were struggling amongst this therefore much.  I receive got to country that arrow cards receive got actually changed the means I instruct position out words together with tin brand a huge divergence for your students.  

Chapter 7: Children's Strategies for Solving Multidigit Problems 

this post most how I presented a grouping of 2nd graders amongst a employment that involved them solving 1000-668 without e'er having "taught" them how to create it.  I was therefore impressed at the fourth dimension amongst how good my students did amongst this together with how many strategies they had.  Now I create these types of problems a lot to a greater extent than amongst kids.  It actually helps them cement their house value agreement spell edifice their ain strategies for multidigit computation.  

There are therefore many fantabulous examples together with videos inwards this chapter that I could pass a total calendar week talking most all the neat ideas.  Similar to the before chapters, it is of import to hollo back that kids motility from straight modeling to to a greater extent than efficient methods over time.  If you lot modify the numbers or the context of the problem, they mightiness revert dorsum to straight modeling.  It is non a linear progression where kids graduate from i type of employment solving together with never purpose it again.  They volition motility upwards together with downward inwards price of efficiency based on the employment type, the numbers together with the linguistic communication inwards the problem.  

What are your thoughts on this week's reading?  Please response inwards the comments below or caput over to Facebook together with acquire out your sentiment there!
