https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99 What strategies and models are used to build conceptual understanding and procedural fluency for your grade level? How do these connect to the prior and subsequent grade levels? en-us 2017-10-13 06:59:29 UTC 2017-10-18 22:21:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Dartstarget.png https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198428768 Manipulatives are very very important! Students in TK/K need to be able have materials in their hands as they are counting. 
Small group instruction is also something that we feel is a necessity. 
We use:
Rekenreks
Dot counters
Counting bags
Number Paths
Ten Frames
1 to 1 counting activities

We emphasize the relationship between multiplication and division.  We use models to then create models to enhance conceptual understanding.]]> 2017-10-18 21:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198462623 https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198463737 Second grade uses manipulatives (base ten blocks) and a variety of straegies such as: place value disks and chart, arrow way, bundling and unbundling, compose/decompose, unifix cubes, make a ten, number bonds, ten frames, benchmark (friendly) numbers. We use models to create conceptual understanding. ]]> 2017-10-18 21:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198463737 https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198464122 Third grade uses flashcards, Tenmarks Jam Session, ST Math, Number Talks, Math Bingo, Around the World, Multiplication Chart as a tool, Skip counting videos, Embarc Flipcharts, Number Bonds]]> 2017-10-18 21:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198464122 https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198465941 We use area models, partial products, graphic organizers, ST Math, manipulatives, arrays, tape diagrams, sprints and flash cards. This reinforces the understanding of multiplication as repeated addition and division as repeated subtraction and prepares them for finding volume and working with ratios.

We also use tools such as number bonds, number lines and ten frames. Addition strategies that are taught and discussed during number talks in first grade include counting on, making 10, doubles, doubles plus 1, 10 more 10 less. We use ST Math and models to teach conceptual understanding of numbers.]]> 2017-10-18 22:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mmcclure/k4u7kgizbf99/wish/198475750
