  1. Building Understanding of the Number System Through Hands-On Experiences Marcia Torgrude K-12 Math Specialist mtorgrude@tie.net

  2. Outcomes for Today • Develop understanding and ideas to promote deeper understanding of the number system. • Develop hands-on strategies to help promote understanding of fractions. • Use tools to help students work fluently with rational numbers. • Experience online tools for the number system

  3. I Have….. Who Has • Let’s play! • What does this have to do with learning? • Where does it fit the common core standards? • What about the Standards of Mathematical Practice? • Search I Have…Who Has online.

  4. Standards of Mathematical Practice

  5. What does it mean to “do mathematics?” The Practice Standards are descriptions of the fundamental skills needed to “do” mathematics.

  6. What does it mean to “do mathematics?” • Practice Standards describe what it means for students to demonstrate proficiency in mathematics. They are our new “basic skills.” • Content Standards are the “what” of mathematics

  7. “Doing mathematics” We must get past the idea of mathematics as a collection of algorithms, steps, or procedures. Just getting answers, although important, is not “doing mathematics.”

  8. Working with Whole Numbers • Adding • Subtracting • Multiplying • Dividing With Base 10 Blocks

  9. “Doing mathematics” Using Modeling to Make Sense of Mathematical Procedures Modeling addition with Base 10 blocks Place It!

  10. “Doing mathematics” Using Modeling to Make Sense of Mathematical Procedures Modeling subtraction with Base 10 blocks 302 − 178 412 - 189

  11. Multiplication and Division • Identify strategies that individuals can use to solve multi-digit multiplication and division problems in sense-making ways • Connect concepts to “standard algorithms” • Discuss teaching strategies that enhance a child’s understanding

  12. Practice Concrete Multiplication What does multiplication look like using base ten blocks?

  13. Let’s Try this without the blocks 143x23

  14. Making Connections through diagram – 23 x 143 100 + 40 + 3 20 + 3

  15. Making Connections –Getting to the algorithm 300+20+6 X 10+9 3000 200 60 2700 180 54 6194 326 x 19 54 180 2700 60 200 3000 6194 326 x 19 2934 326 6194

  16. Understanding the abstract • Do you think that using base-10 blocks helps to give meaning to the multiplication algorithm? How? • One common concern when using models is that students will not make connections between the concrete models, their representations, and the mathematical concept. Did we make the connections?

  17. Practice Concrete Division What does division look like using base ten blocks?

  18. American Idol is back! If they travel to 11 different cities and can only take a total of 132 people to Hollywood, how many people can be selected from each city? How can we use the base ten block array model to help us with division?

  19. Understanding the abstract • Do you think that using base-10 blocks helps to give meaning to the division algorithm? How?

  20. Another Strategy for Division Partial quotient division Multiplication for division – use what we know Use of friendly or “benchmark” numbers

  31. What were the goals of the activities?What common core standards have we been working on?What Standards of Mathematical Practice were present during the activities?Small Group Discussion

  32. Rational Numbers • Integers • Charge Model • Linear Model

  33. Ways to build understanding of Integers ·Charge Model Use your positive/negative counters to represent the following numbers using at least the number of tiles listed. You can challenge yourself by using more than the minimum number of tiles. Be prepared to share and prove your solution.

  34. Ways to build understanding of Integers ·Linear Model Matt earns merits and demerits at his school. One day he earned 3 merits for his math game, 2 demerits for being late to class, 1 merit for being courteous, 5 demerits for arguing with his teacher, and 2 merits for helping another student. If he began the day with 4 merits, how many did he have at the end of the day?

  35. Ways to build understanding of Integers Model the following problems with your counters and sketch your work using a plus sign for positive and a negative sign for negative counters: 3 + 5 +3 + (-5) -3 + 5 -3 + (-5) What do you notice? Make some generalizations about the rules for adding integers. Now consider: -3 - (-5) What generalization can you make?

  36. Ways to build understanding of Integers Charge and Linear Model Solve this problem using both methods: Heather started the month with $12. She spent $5 on a game, but realized that she forgot to pay her annual club dues so she wrote a check for $15 because her dad said he would loan her enough money to cover the check. How much does Heather have to borrow from her dad?

  37. How is this different from the way students built their understanding of positive/negative integers in the past? What common core standard have we been working on? What Standards of Mathematical Practice were present during the activity?
