Solving practical problems using the four basic operations with whole numbers - Mathematics Instructional Plan

Students will analyze a provided math problem with an incorrect answer (bug). Students will demonstrate their understanding of the process by identifying the error, solving the problem correctly and providing an explanation. Math problem solving directly correlates with the step by step process that computer science debugging requires. The purpose of this experience is to provide a jumping off point for a deeper understanding of the Computer Science SOLs. This could be the first time your students are exposed to the vocabulary (algorithm, bug, debugging) and can provide a good foundation of the understanding of the vocabulary in a concrete, low-technology way.

 This resource is a remix from Illustrative Mathematics.This encourages student collaboration and allows students to have a mathematical dialogue to express their understanding of algebraic properties. This resource is a valuable part of building background when introducing units of measure or equations in the early elementary years of mathematics education as it provides students a concrete example of building an equation with concrete objects.   Suggested Modification- Encourage student online portfolio - A student recording sheet with dominos illustrations can be used as a reference for students to have a mathematical dialogue. Teachers can use online educational platforms that would allow students to record their own understanding of math and share them with the teacher. For example, Seasaw is an educational platform that students can use, but will require parental permission. It allows collaboration between teachers, students, and the parent community where students can have a voice and choice in their learning.

This remixed lesson from Illustrative Mathematics models how to get the same sum with different addends. It is also introduces students to the use of number lines in addition. https://goopenva.org/courses/2-md-frog-and-toad-on-the-number-line

As a teacher your goal is to provide practice using carefully selected strategies. Through encouragement you can provide experiences for students to develop efficient strategies. Use the following strategies to develop the basic addition facts. By the end of first grade, students should be able to counting on to find the sum.  For the sum of 4 + 3, start with 4 and count on 5, 6, 7.  This shows that 4 + 3 = 7.  Another strategy is to use the near doubles strategy to find the sum.  Using the same problem 3 + 4, add 3 + 3 to get 6 and then add 1 more to get seven.  Or using the same problem 4 + 3, add 4 + 4 to get 8 and then subtract 1 to get seven.By providing experiences to learn these strategies, students will develop number sense and understand how to compose and decompose numbers.  This in turn will help students to develop basic fact fluency and learn while having fun playing a game.
