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.

We will introduce the topic for the lesson with this video. I have coins and bills in individual bags for classroom use. We view the video again and
will work on matching amounts while working through the problems on the video.

Adding and subtracting decimals, through the thousandths, used in contextual situations. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

Using manipulatives, students will make the connection between concrete to representational in adding and subtracting decimals using practical problems.

Using a problem solving organizer based on Polya's Problem Solving Process, students will add and subtract decimals in practical problems.

Solving single-step practical problems using addition and subtraction with decimals through the thousandths. Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the  Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.
