Q

Why would we spend time looking at number relationships and activities to build them?

A
  • It takes learners beyond just counting by ones
  • Learners can see connections among numbers
  • It leads to thinking strategies for estimation and mental math and basic fact strategies
  • More likely that learners will look for math to make sense

68
Q

What are the three different properties of addition and subtraction?

A
  • The commutative property
  • The associative property
  • The zero property
69
Q

What is the commutative property of addition?

A

You can change the order of the addends and it does not affect the answer

70
Q

What is the associative property?

A

When adding three or more numbers, it does not matter whether the first pair is added first or if you start with another pair of addends

71
Q

What is the zero property?

A

The idea that adding or subtracting zero doesn’t make numbers bigger or smaller

72
Q

Why would the commutative property be advantageous?

A
  • You can see the relation between these sets of numbers
  • Instead of teaching all of the addition by itself and all of the subtraction by itself you can learn that all of them are related
  • Shows how the operations are inverse
  • They don’t have to learn these rote
73
Q

What are the 3 learning phases for basic facts? (describe them)

A
  • Counting (when students begin to use counting on, are ready for reasoning)
  • Reasoning strategies (Using known facts to figure out unknown)
  • Mastery (Use only after students known a fact and are ready to work towards accuracy)
74
Q

What is counting on?

A

Being able to count on from a specific number

Instead of counting 1, 2, 3, 4….6 and then add 3; 7, 8, 9
Add 6, 7, 8, 9 instead

75
Q

What’s direct modelling?

A

Direct modelling physically shows the entire quantity involved in the equation

76
Q

Name 3 examples of derived facts

A
  • Doubles / near
  • Making tens
  • Making landmark / friendly numbers
  • Compensation
  • Breaking place value
  • Adding up chunks
77
Q

Name 5 addition strategies

A
  • Commutativity
  • Adding zero, one
  • Counting on (up) 3 or less
  • Doubles
  • Near doubles
  • 10 sums
  • Near sums to 10
  • Regrouping to 10 (adding 8 or 9 as one addend)
78
Q

What are fact families?

A

5 + 7 = 12 –> 12 = 5 + 7

  • This shows that it doesn’t matter which side of the sum is on the equation
  • We want kids to be flexible and have them know that they can put it in different places
79
Q

What is foundational place value understanding built through?

A
  • Children’s early number experiences using benchmark numbers of 10
  • Using 10 frames to build understanding of the ‘teen’ numbers (13 is one 10 and 3)
  • Using ‘make ten’ strategies for learning the basic facts ( 9 + 6 –> 10 + 5)
  • Using 10 frames and rekenreks to add / subtract
80
Q

What are the two big ideas about place value (numeration)?

A
  • There is a consistent trading rate from one place value to another
  • Location of the digits indicated their value
81
Q

Would one-hundred and thirty two be a correct way of saying it?

A

No

82
Q

Using place value we can ________ numbers to make them easier to compute

A

decompose

83
Q

Instead of ‘borrow’ or ‘carry’ what words should you use?

84
Q

What are the three main kinds of base 10 blocks called?

A

flat (100)
rod / long (10)
unit (1)

85
Q

Why would you want to use neutral terminology for base 10 blocks?

A
  • **doesn’t expire

- So we can use them for different place values

86
Q

Personal strategies are…

A
  • Number oriented (build on place value)
  • Left to right (the natural way that children work)
  • Flexible (choose efficient method for numbers included)
  • Students make fewer errors
  • Students are ‘doing’ mathematics
  • Faster in the long run
87
Q

Standard algorithms are…

A
  • Digit oriented
  • Right to left
  • Rigid (one strategy is used for all computations)
  • Errors are often systematic and difficult to remediate
  • Focus is on rules and tricks
  • Students are copying, memorizing methods
  • Faster only in the short run
88
Q

Why would you learn more than one strategy?

Learning the number sense

89
Q

Estimation helps students understand what is _____ enough

A

Close

90
Q

Rounding isn’t a _____ and _____ rule, you wan’t them to see that it’s close to a number

A

hard

fast

91
Q

What is our aim with number strategies?

A

The ultimate goal of number talks is for students to compute accurately, efficiently and flexibly

92
Q

27 + 38 =

Using place value methods adding from left to right

A

20 + 30 = 50
7 + 8 = 15
50 + 15 = 65

93
Q

27 + 38 =

Using adding on (counting up)

A

27 + 30 = 57

57 + 8 = 65

94
Q

27 + 38 =

Using compensation (add an amount to make it easier, then subtract at the end)

A

27 + 40 = 67 (add 2)

67 - 2 = 65 (subtract 2)
