Partitioning relates to thinking flexibly about numbers and links to Key Understanding 6 in FSiM (DETWA, 2013a, p. 60). During the subsequent sessions, activities using place value mats, tens frames, MABs, abacus, bundling sticks, arrow cards, and number expanders allowed Athena to show the same numbers in various formats (multiembodiments) as advised by Reys et al. (2012). This helped her to recognise the visual and symbolic nature of the numbers and see how numbers can be partitioned in both standard and non-standard ways (Appendix D). In extending her writing of numbers on the place value mat, in addition to using the iPad abacus app with digital readout, and playing Place Value Knockout, Athena began to also recognise the multiplicative nature of the place values (ACU, 2011a, pp.…
Booker, Bond, Sparrow & Swan (2014) note that using the tens frames is beneficial as a mental representation as it helps children develop an ability of viewing numbers without counting through the building patterns, by seeing ten when the frame is full and giving zero a meaning when the frame is empty. Reys, Lindquist, Lambdin, Smith, Rogers, Falle, Frid & Bennett (2012) view learning opportunities with the tens frame as promoting the development addition, subtraction, multiplication and importantly place value. In addition, according to Reys et al, (2012) it is beneficial to enter into discussions about different patterns. Therefore, Polly was engaged in verbal questions such as “give me one more” or “one less”. The reason for this is that it aids in conceptual understanding of ten as exploring these relationships promotes flexibility of numbers and overall number sense.…
It seems that throughout American history that if you weren’t the typical “white” American your voice wasn’t heard, as if their opinions and values were “muted” from the “white” American. Society had been become so “whitewashed” throughout time that if you were any other race you were basically invisible in work and society besides with your own group of people. This doesn’t only apply to race as gender also plays a big role into this as well as women were not as privileged as the men. Out of Units 1-3 I choose to discuss article 1, 3, 5, 6 and 34.…
One activity that changed the way I think of math was Activity 11.29. In this activity is was about collecting 10,000 items. Often times we assume that older students understand concepts that was taught in the younger grades. Having students’ physically represent numbers and place valve helps solidify the concept.…
Grade level: a. 2nd Grade CCSS Content Standards for Mathematics Number and Operations (base ten or fractions) heading: a. NBT.5 Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction. Lesson objective(s): a. Students will be able to accurately use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract numbers within 100. b. Through multiple activities students will fluently use mental math as well as work in collaborative groups. Materials: a. Pair of dice per group b. 100’s…
3-2 The whole system is an intricate web. It includes laws, rules, policies, customs, and institutions that control labeled criminals both in and out of prison. Once prisoners are released, their label follows them for the rest of life. Former prisoners have a lot of difficulties (such as job, economic situation) when they back to society. They will enter invisible legalized discrimination and permanent social exclusion.…
“Mythography” Project I use numbers and math for lots of things in my daily life. I use numbers and math for baking, measuring, learning activities, counting, telling time, planning, and scheduling. The first thing I use math and numbers for is baking and washing dishes. I use the numbers on the oven and microwave to set operating cycles. I use the microwave to make delicious noodles, and the oven for baking cookies.…
Estimating and rounding subtraction, three and four digit subtraction, and subtracting across zeros. Some students will need instructions and story problem read to them. Two students receive reduced problems to help them be successful. Students who need additional instruction will receive it.…
Overall, the different models discussed in the article showed me the different misconceptions that the students had over integer’s numbers. In addition, I learned that students can have some early understanding of negative numbers which may not be entirely correct, but somehow correlated to the…

If you ask me whether or not I like children, my answer, given grudgingly, would always be yes. That’s not to say I have any particular dislike for them, but an hour of trying to teach them what the number 11 is when they try to count on their fingers can only be described as incredibly tiring. “Come on you guys, 11 is not the number 1”, I told them gently. It would have been another mind-numbing hour had one of the fellow student-helpers not suggested I use blocks instead. We made immediate progress from that point.…
Maths and many of its aspect are a major part of everyday life. Literacy and numeracy are essential skills for all children to develop. Every child has different learning ability and therefore it will be a good idea to determine each child’s maths literacy level for them to succeed. The two theories of learning discussed are Behaviorism and Constructivism. According to the theory constructivism is best suited to the learning and teaching of maths over behaviorism.…
