  3. # 1: Attitude

  4. #2: Vocabulary inst∏re math

  5. #3: Number Sense (fluency) glasbergen.com

  6. #4: Math is a vehicle in teaching thinking

  7. What is Singapore Math?

  8. Curriculum Framework for Primary Mathematics • Appreciation • Interest • Confidence • Perseverance • Monitoring one’s work Attitudes Metacognition Mathematical Problem-Solving • Estimation & Approximation • Mental Calculations • Use of math tools • Arithmetic manipulation • Algebraic manipulation • Handling data Process Skills • Thinking Skills Concepts “What students already know about the content is one of the strongest indicators of how well they will learn new information relative to the content” ~Robert J. Marzano • Numerical • Geometrical • Algebraic • Statistical

  9. CPA- Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract • Sequence of instruction • “Teach less, learn more” ~Singapore Math What shall the students learn tomorrow? What shall I teach tomorrow?

  10. Math Stories • A few examples of guiding questions: • Can you name what you see in this picture? • Are there some things we can count one-by-one? By 2’s? • What is largest? Smallest? • How many in all? What are “part” of them doing? • Which one is first? Second, etc? • Can you make a math story from this picture?

  11. Math Stories

  12. Math Stories

  13. Math Stories

  14. Number Bonds Understand part-whole relationships Compose and decompose numbers See inverse relationships Master + & - bonds (facts) thru 10* Develop algebraic thinking Build relational understanding, which is foundational for building mental math skills

  15. Teaching Number Bonds • How numbers go together

  16. Teaching Number Bonds • Create addition stories (what about those pictures you used for math stories?) • Create subtraction stories

  17. Teaching Number Bonds • Use sentence frames • Ex: There are a total of _____ lizards. ____ of the lizards are _______ and ____ of the lizards are _______. ______ and ______ make ______

  18. Get Students involved! #2: Concrete Actors who are creating equal groups #1: Narrators Reading the ‘script’ #3: Pictorial Illustrators are drawing pictures of the group

  19. Teaching Number Bonds • Number Bond Stories- Learning Number Sentences

  20. Journey of a Number Bond • 8 + 5 38 + 7 292 + 119

  21. Journey of a Number Bond • 2,389 + 35 14 oz + 7 oz • 45 min + 35 min

  22. Understanding Place Value • Place Value Cards or strips • Place Value Discs • Place Value Mats

  23. Understanding Place Value • Expanded form = Place Value Cards

  24. Understanding Place Value • Place Value Discs and Place Value Mats Hundreds Tens Ones

  25. Model Drawing Practice • 1. There are 4 blocks on the floor and 2 blocks on the table. How many blocks are there in all? 4 + 2 + ______ There are ______ blocks in all.

  26. Bar Modeling
