Why important (K-1) by Rebecca Poon https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb Why is reasoning important in the K-1 math classroom? en-us 2016-06-10 17:25:24 UTC 2025-09-26 14:05:38 UTC hello@padlet.com Reasoning is important because is shows how children are thinking through a problem. It also lets you know where they are as far as their understanding goes. ibelenson1 https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622028 2016-06-14 15:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622028 To see if students understand the concept being taught https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622066 2016-06-14 15:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622066 Reasoning is important to have deeper understanding of  the concept taught. https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622147 2016-06-14 15:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622147 Reasoning is important because it builds understanding beyond rote math facts. It creates deeper thinking, and ownership of their work. It is important to start these practices early in K-1.  https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622149 2016-06-14 15:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622149 math builds upon itself, we don't want to wait for students to be older to begin these skills https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622156 2016-06-14 15:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622156 Students prove how they got the answer- showing their work https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622180 2016-06-14 15:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622180 I am here because I think this can be a powerful way for kids to become a more thoughtf thinker. I have tried number talks but wasn't consistent with them. I alway wonder how much the kids got from them? ibelenson1 https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622201 2016-06-14 15:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622201 Using tools to show they understand- draw a picture, counting on ,writing equations https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622266 2016-06-14 15:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622266 Reasoning https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622369 Reasoning is important because if students have an understanding of how math works and how to explain it, that will be a solid foundation for them to build upon when moving forward. Also, when faced with math they don't know, they can pull from what they do know using reasoning to solve. ]]> 2016-06-14 15:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622369 https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622437 Reasoning is important because it shows students understanding & ability to work through problems.]]> 2016-06-14 15:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622437 https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622536 Don't like having to give a grade on the report card for this, ]]> 2016-06-14 15:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622536 It's not only knowing the right answer, but showing how you got it https://padlet.com/rcpoon/ifnej7qyu0bb/wish/114622552
