Scavenger Hunt-the students had to use two different strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
In the classroom I have been really working on just having the students focus on representing problems. I really like the task card activity we did at the training. SO, I gave table groups a question and each table group had a different answer choice and they had to discuss if their answer choice was correct or incorrect. At the teacher table we were working on how to set up equations, how we can represent the problem (number line, strip diagram) then we needed to solve the problem.

Essential Question:

-Why is it important to know more than one way to solve a problem?

-How can I use pictures, number lines, and equations to represent and help solve addition and subtraction problems?

-How can I use mathematical language to explain what I am thinking?

Objective:

-I can work to understand the problem before trying to solve it and use a variety of methods to solve addition and subtraction problems.

Mini Lesson:

Procedures:

Students will brainstorm the many ways we recognize addition and subtraction through the use of vocabulary.

Number Line | Equation/Standard Algorithm
Picture/Model/Strip Diagram | Compose/Decompose to Solve

Today we focused on Decompose to Solve with Place Value- the numbers are low for modeling purposes today and will continue to increase throughout the week.
