The most common misconception is the conversion from feet to yards.  We do not practice conversions enough in class for students to understand the concept. We need to do more conversions so that students have a better understanding of how to complete problems like this.  ]]> 2022-02-02 23:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2026474664 2007426 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2029526020 One of the biggest misconceptions I notice that they knew the steps but because of not knowing to subtract when they got to the ribbon being used up. I see this during word problems sometimes too. I ask the students to read through and make a math movie of what they see. They we talk about what they see, we read through it again and circle the numbers and where to put the sign over the part that tells them what to do. Last, we read it a 3rd time and draw out what we saw.]]> 2022-02-04 14:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2029526020 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2030350982 Students struggled with converting yards to feet.

Show students a yard stick and measure ribbon using it. Count by threes to establish that one yard is always three feet. ]]> 2022-02-05 20:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2030929302 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2030988316 Seems as though the conversion in the first step was the biggest struggle. I think having students actually use the ruler often would engrain this basic conversion and help them realize whether their answer is reasonable. It should be used in both math and science regularly. I believe students also get some sort of reference/ formula sheet during the 5th grade test. This should be available to students consistently during daily instruction. Some students used the opposite operation either for the conversion or the difference.]]> 2022-02-05 22:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2030988316 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2031804073 I think student who didn't know how many feet were in a yard struggled the most.

As a strategy we can use, we have to show them a ruler, yardstick and measuring tape. Have students count how many feet are in one yard. Provide varying measurements and have them test their calculations using the instruments mentioned.]]> 2022-02-12 23:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044099890 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044148812 The challenge for the some students  were converting yards to feet.  A positive is that the majority of students knew it was a 2 step problem. Students should be introduced to metric units  with vocabualry, reference sheets, silent teachers posted in the room, cross curriculm math and science measurement and using rulers. The minor mistakes I saw were simple subtraction.  I would use lessons and games to teach measurement.]]> 2022-02-13 01:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044148812 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044505881 Students struggled converting yards to feet and most students solved the multi-step problem.]]> 2022-02-13 12:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044505881 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2044670043 A common misconception that students have is how to correctly convert yards into feet.

Students do not often have an understanding of conversions, how to do them or what it truly means to convert. Comprehension of the word problem is another struggle. A way that I have been working with kids on word problems is Project CRISS's "Read and Explain" strategy, wherein you stop at each punctuation and put the sentence in your own words. It slows down the reading and allows to see if students understand concepts, details, etc.]]> 2022-02-14 12:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2046120289 https://padlet.com/2004861_3/aml6qx1rqoh6pr4j/wish/2047235989 Knowing how many feet in a yard.
