At most table groups, students are figuring out all the ways you could make 5. At a few table groups, students may be working with smaller or greater numbers. Students can choose which table group to work at, based on how well they handle working in smaller or larger groups; students can also choose table groups based on the level of difficulty they need (students will seek challenges they can handle, will avoid tasks that are too easy because it will bore them). ]]> 2020-04-16 00:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509632664 David Zada https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509635799 Provide flexibility in regards to how students present their findings. Provide some options, and then also an open choice: as long as their message is communicated clearly. For example: You could... a) Create a chart showing all the math statements you've discovered that add up to 5, b) draw a picture showing the different combinations of heads and tails you've discovered which have all added up to 5, c) explain what your answer is in writing, and how you know it's true, d) other (your choice). ]]> 2020-04-16 00:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509635799 David Zada https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509639585 Provide the option: students are encouraged to do the nickel activity, but provide at least one other "how many ways can we make five" activity (for example, provide 5 connecting cubes and ask students to connect them into as many possible PAIRS of shapes as they can, in order to answer the question), and also provide the option, for ambitious students, to figure out a way to answer the question themselves, and to then report back with their findings.]]> 2020-04-16 00:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509639585 Miranda Papagiannis https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509730710 Rather than coins, have students use other types of materials to make number with.

A way to differentiate this activity would be to given them options/space to demonstrate their learning such: 
    - word sentences (ie 3 and 2 make 5, rather than 3 + 2= 5) 
    - orally communicate to the teacher and the teacher scribe 
    - take pictures with an ipad and either write their thoughts or voice over the pictures
    - share their learning with a peer 
    - draw how many ways they've made 5
    - and of course, if the student would benefit from finding ways to make a bigger or smaller number , depending on their needs, then that option should be be given to show their final product. ]]>     2020-04-16 02:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/509733761     Christine Spadafora (nee Jose) https://padlet.com/kelly_wright/shovomspvp47/wish/510546476
  • Using a video to explain the content (concept) such as Jack Hartmaan I Can Say My Number Pair 5 (done through visual and song).

  • Set up stations with different activities that groups can rotate through. Examples: Using cubes and drawing a small circle on paper, students roll the cubes onto the circle and see how many land in and out of the circle and to draw what they see on a chart labelled in and out. A bowling station where students knock down pins of a specific number and see how many are left. Chart paper mat with number sentences of 5 and using two different colored bingo dabbers to show the number sentence (ie. 3 red dots and 2 blue dots)
  • Small group discussion with teacher: using two colored chips and giving each kid a different amount and asking how many more they need to get to 5 and giving it to them in a different colour.

Drawing back to the videos we watched earlier about math learners, the teacher created an open discussion forum in her classroom, allowing students to freely share thoughts. This allowed students to contribute their findings in ways they are comfortable, therefore some may draw their findings, others may use mathematical tools and symbols, some may require manipulative to display their work while others can verbal provide an answer.

At first they use counters and draw diagrams, then they write number sentences, then they complete practice using tech, or using dry erase boards. These are different ways for students to interact with numeracy.

    Alternatively, the rooom could be set up for a jig saw activity where an expert group would spend the most time at one station, solving the problem.  Later a secondary grouping of "experts" would be grouped together to describe their learning at the expert stations to members of a mixed group.  Students could be provided with a template document where they could record one example of each mixed group contribution.  
     In both senarios, the teacher facilitator would float around the groups providing assistance.  As well, he or she would consolidate the learning in a large group discussion where important learning could be accuately summarized verbally and visually.
