Watching the video was very helpful and a great reminder on intentional teaching. Every time the teacher spoke, she used math vocab, repetition (with words like: strategies, prove it, and even reading the story problem two times). She also asked open ended questions and listened to the children explain in their own words. She was very prepared with her materials and the children were able to choose which strategy they wanted to use. I love the visuals of the strategies she reviewed with them (strategies: draw, number line, fingers, and tally marks.) It takes patience and thoughtfulness in asking the open ended questions she did (like: How did you do that? Tell me about it. How did you know that? What did you do? Prove it. These questions are necessary now when learning math.

I love the video. I'm a visual learner so videos are very helpful. I love the way the teacher created a "story" as this reference to a word problem may help develop a more positive attitude towards this type of equation in the future. Most students dislike word problems.

I thought the math video was excellent! It was a great idea for the teacher to write out the math problem and read it with the children several times emphasizing words like "more" and "in all."  The visuals explaining options (draw, number line, fingers, and tally marks) for solving the problem were great!  The students seemed relaxed and confident in being able to prove their answer.  Great Math lesson!

I loved that the teacher presented the strategies for the students to consider using. The students were familiar with the strategies and picked their own to show their reasoning. I also enjoyed how the teacher had the students critique each other's reasoning. This lesson coincides well with the Common Core Standards and the Math Practices.

I enjoyed watching the video.The teacher read out loud and involved the children to read along. The strategies she provided for the two children are great example in finding the answer to the problem.

I loved the video! I believe the teacher's name is Dionne Gibson and I had the pleasure of working with her this past summer. Reminding students of the different strategies they can use to solve the problem is a great idea. Creating flash cards with "Draw It", "Number Line", Using Fingers", and "Tally Marks", on them to help children recall all of the strategies is a great way to support them in their learning.

Oops... Accidentally pressed finish.

This reminds me to provide visual cues to support the tools that we teach to our students.

I also liked the fact that the teacher is teaching the concept of checking work. She led them to solve the problem by using their fingers, then had them resolve the problem again by using a method of their choice.

What was particularly striking to me about this video were the set of visual cues that served to remind the students about the strategies they had previously learned.

As I watched the video, I was impressed by the strategies the Teacher used with her students. A number of things stood out:
1) She writes the mathematical problem down on a large piece of paper and the first letter in every word is highlighted in Red, hence teaching Print and Math together.
2) She starts the lesson by reading the sentence slowly and clearly.  She encourages the kids to repeat with her.  She reviews it with them again.
3) Her next approach is to ask open-ended questions.  She uses questions like, "How do you know?" "How many means what?"
4) She takes time to explain the strategies and lets the kids pick the ones they want to use, hence giving them the flexibility to learn using tools they are comfortable with.  This is crucial.  All kids learn things differently and she is cognizant of that.
5) She encourages them to talk about their strategies with her hence bringing the object of the lesson to full circle.

Overall I am inspired by this video and would be eager to try it in our classroom.

Probably motivated the children by giving them a choice of props, as well as,

I really enjoyed the video. I like the how the teacher read the problem twice, and they followed with her. She gave them a choice of props, which probably motivated them

They were able to choose what method to use to solve the problem.She went over"how many means put them together" and had them do it with their fingers.She ask open ended questions to them and were able think on their own answer.I love that at the end she ask them " can you prove it"

I love the teacher strategy on solving the word problem. She went over it a couple of time to make sure they understood. I love that she had different strategies to solved the math problem with and gave them a choose

I also enjoyed watching this video. I think the teacher did a great job with explaining it and taking the time to review the question over and over for the two children. I also really liked how she gave them the choice of what props they wanted to solve the math problem with. The flash cards were a great idea and I will definitely use this technique in my classroom. I think it's great because everyone learns differently and it allows each child to express their way of how they want to solve the problem.

I enjoyed watching the video. I can also say I learned from watching the video. Particularly, I liked how the teacher did not just have the children solve the problem but she also had them explain in their words how they found the answer and what strategy they used. The idea of having the laminated cards showing the different strategies was great! Teaching the students all those strategies and not just one is definitely beneficial to them. Having the children pick the strategy they wanted to use to solve the problem was great because every child learns differently and not all strategies work for all children. I also liked the vocabulary she was using when talking about the strategies what the words to was using when describing the problem and breaking down the meaning of "how many" and how that means to "put it together". Overall this is a great method to practice in the future.

I really liked this video. I was really liked the pictures the teacher used of the strategies. I thought both children would choose to count cars and was surprised when Maddy used tallies. I wasn't sure what her picture was and when she explained it, she really really great thinking.

As I watched the CGI Math Video, I saw many great strategies the teacher used to help the children solve the word problem. First, she asked them to read the problem together a couple of times in order to comprehend what was being asked. She then asked the children to use their fingers to show her the number of cars. Using the body may help kinesthetic or visual learners. She also went over the vocabulary, "how many means put it together." The teacher discussed the different strategies they could use (draw, number line, fingers, tally marks) and let the children decide which strategy they would like to use to solve the problem. She ended lesson by asking the children to explain what they did to get their answers and then she asked them to prove it!

I really enjoyed this video. By writing out the ‘problem’ the teacher provided a focus point for her lesson. Children were given the freedom to decide how they wanted to solve their problem and which tools to use. She guided the students with open ended questions, provided reminders as needed and gave them time to figure out the answer. I especially like the ideas of using photos as reminders of the various methods of solving the problem.   She used advanced vocabulary (“strategy’ and ‘tally”) while she encouraged the children to collaborate and decide together if their answer was correct. This is a method I would like to use in the future. It will take practice on my part.
