Incorporate geometric shapes in equations to recall area, perimeter equations

Students need...

problem solving skills

solving for unknown

Computation / Fluency

Multi Step

Models

# data[].attributes.body
Foundation of all future math skills. It teaches the beginning of vocabulary.

3rd and 5th

-both use multiplication

-multiple operations

-5th has variables but 3rd does not

-Both 3rd and 5th do not have models

-Both problems are having them represent as a equation.

# data[].attributes.body
Using correct math vocabulary when discussing in class

# data[].attributes.body
Academic vocabulary needs to be consistent

Fact Families (number manipulation)

# data[].attributes.body
Reading/comprehension skills

Part/Part/Whole

# data[].attributes.body
This would help by front loading students

# data[].attributes.body
The models get more complex and the use of thinking maps become important. Related facts, number bonds and using background knowledge are needed to solve the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Incorporate error analysis as a warm up so that students try to catch others mistakes with common errors i.e. trying to move variables to the other side when it is an expression and not an equation

# data[].attributes.body
-number sense

-literal equations

-order of operations

-combining like terms

-factoring

-substitution

-grouping

# data[].attributes.body
Students need to have a understanding of how to represent and solve equations using all 4 operations. How to relate common "real world" situations to mathematical vocabulary.

In my opinion, I have not had any issues with this. Its like if you learn multiplication by lattice or long hand... at least you know how to do it. But PEMDAS has been around the longest and most of us use it.

It a tool to help remember. Not the concept.

# data[].attributes.body
Students advance from finding an unknown in first grade to solving for unknown variables in upper grades. Basic operations are used in both grade levels.

# data[].attributes.body
Understanding vocabulary and knowledge of math symbols is imperative for success

# data[].attributes.body
The knowledge of number sense and place value is crucial for future success.

# data[].attributes.body
Students struggle with basic facts and number sense, so an increase in focus of those areas will help all.

Distribute

Combine Like Terms

Move the smaller variable (take the baby to the momma)

Addition/subtractions

Multiplication/division

An excellent TOOL to help students solve for an unknown which is introduced as question marks.

# data[].attributes.body
*Model was used to show division

*Connected multiplication area model with equations

* Models could be used to multiply polynomials in upper grades

strong academic vocabulary

don't use the alligator

understand concepts not just the cuteness of butterfly method or the bat and ball

We would love for Paw Palooza to include a session that allows for vertical alignment in smaller grade level groups to see how we can better close gaps from grade to grade.

As an elementary teacher, I think it is important for secondary teachers to understand we are not only teaching academics, but we focus on building and supporting their social emotional learning.

# data[].attributes.body
As an upper elementary teacher, I think it is important for secondary teachers to understand that some students require longer time in certain skills to master, the time frame given prevents mastery. These students organization skills, fine motor skills, developmental, self regulation skills have declined every year and are having to spend more time on these skills.

As elementary teachers, we want you to know a lot of kindergartners come in not knowing numbers. K-2 are introducing new skills across the board and doing our best to close the gaps before they move forward. We have them the whole day, plan and teach 4 subjects each day. We deal with difficult students in our room all day, not just a 45 minute class period, which can take away from instruction. Gradual transition, such as homework, responsibility switches from parent to student. Parent support does decrease in middle school and high school, possibly due to the rigor changing from when they were in school.

# data[].attributes.body
It's important for secondary to understand...

Parents don't see that academics are important

We do DO fact fluency daily

HW is optional

STEMscopes is still new & primary needs to be aligned

Curriculum isn't consistent

Resources aren't consistent (Flocabulary)

We do what yall are asking us

We ALSO wish the kids would stop using their fingers

Nothing covers everything (curriculum wise)

As a secondary teacher, I think it's important that elementary teachers understood....that concepts will continue to build on each other even through their HS career. Gaps they have in the lower levels can have big repercussions to future learning
