Reply to someone else's idea with a Math Practice that students would be using as a result of the teaching using that Principle. en-us 2018-04-24 16:31:24 UTC 2026-02-03 00:06:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846675 Principle #4: Use manipulatives and other representations to model a problem and link them to mathematical symbols. I chose this principle because we were using different hands on manipulatives such as the pawn and the dice to represents numbers and X's. Once we were able to to find the numbers for x, we were able to then replace the manipulatives with numbers ]]> 2018-04-26 22:07:31 UTC https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846675 skjohnson0414 https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846843 I think using Hands on Equations is using Principle #2(establish strong number sense) through the use of using known to derive the unknown and decomposing and recomposing numbers to simplify calculation. Students will learn to reconstruct based on prior knowledge and use strategies to help them make sense of what they are learning. In this assignment, we were using counting and using flexible and multiple representations to train ourselves to be flexible with numbers.]]> 2018-04-26 22:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846843 https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846860 Teachers who use HOE are using this principle because the teacher is engaging student's knowledge of how a scale balances to teach the concept of balance within algebra equations. ]]> 2018-04-26 22:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846860 amcphillips1 https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255846882 Teachers who are using HOE are using this principle because Algebra is typically taught only procedurally.  They are taking time to teach it conceptually - going slow to go fast...  :)

I chose this principle because manipulatives (pawns/dice) help students better understand math concepts in an efficient manner. Students are also able to correct their own mistakes by using manipulatives.

Also because the manipulatives provide students with a better understanding.]]> 2018-04-26 22:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255847010 https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255847080 Using a variety of teaching strategies was important during the equations activities.  The videos taught us how to solve the problems using a balancing manipulative but you could also use the tradition way of solving the problems, especially from lessons 3 and up.  Traditionally, you would move the X to one side of the equation and move the other addends to the other side of the equation, then solve for X.  Some students can solve the problems using mental math.

I chose this principle because manipulatives help students get a deeper understanding of concepts. ]]> 2018-04-26 23:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amcphillips1/2nec7hg9r34c/wish/255858376
