  2. Computation Algorithms in Everyday Mathematics Instead of learning a prescribed (and limited) set of algorithms, Everyday Mathematics encourages students to be flexible in their thinking about numbers and arithmetic. Students begin to realize that problems can be solved in more than one way. They also improve their understanding of place value and sharpen their estimation and mental-computation skills. The following slides are offered as an extension to the parent communication from your child’s teacher. We encourage you to value the thinking that is evident when children use such algorithms—there really is more than one way to solve a problem!

  3. Before selecting an algorithm, consider how you would solve the following problem. 48 + 799 We are trying to develop flexible thinkers who recognize that this problem can be readily computed in their heads! One way to approach it is to notice that 48 can be renamed as 1 + 47 and then 48 + 799 = 47 + 1 + 799 = 47 + 800 = 847 What was your thinking?

  4. An algorithm consists of a precisely specified sequence of steps that will lead to a complete solution for a certain class of problems. Important Qualities of Algorithms • Accuracy • Does it always lead to a right answer if you do it right? • Generality • For what kinds of numbers does this work? (The larger the set of numbers the better.) • Efficiency • How quick is it? Do students persist? • Ease of correct use • Does it minimize errors? • Transparency (versus opacity) • Can you SEE the mathematical ideas behind the algorithm?

  12. Trade-First Students complete all regrouping before doing the subtraction. This can be done from left to right. In this case, we need to regroup a 100 into 10 tens. The 7 hundreds is now 6 hundreds and the 2 tens is now 12 tens. 11 13 6 12 723 459 6 2 4 Next, we need to regroup a 10 into 10 ones. The 12 tens is now 11 tens and the 3 ones is now 13 ones. Now, we complete the subtraction. We have 6 hundreds minus 4 hundreds, 11 tens minus 5 tens, and 13 ones minus 9 ones.
