Now That's a Good Question by Michelle Jones https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8 Part 2: Good Questions for Math en-us 2019-01-04 00:24:19 UTC 2019-02-21 19:21:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Parent Notes: Repeat by increasing the goal number from twenty to fifty, then one hundred. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708246 2019-01-06 23:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708246 Good Question: Count by twos until you land on twenty. What other numbers can you count by and still land on twenty jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708275 2019-01-06 23:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708275 Parent Notes: Extend this by asking children to write the biggest number they can. Compare these numbers to see which is the biggest. Look at the tens and the ones to compare. Have child explain why they chose that number. Repeat for other numbers. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708301 2019-01-06 23:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708301 Good Question: I have a written a secret number that is more than sixty-five. What might it be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708364 2019-01-06 23:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708364 Parent Notes: Can your child write them all? Ask them why they wrote, what they wrote. Why they included the numbers that they did and why they excluded a said number. The key is to have THEM explain their thinking--don't accept "because I did" or "I don't know". Don't explain it for them as you will not be in the classroom to do so when they have to do it on their own. You are the moderator of the conversation--leading them with questions that will require them to explain their own thinking. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708388 2019-01-06 23:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708388 Good Question: I have written a secret number between 50 and 70. It is an even number. What might it be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708513 2019-01-06 23:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708513 Parent Notes: Not only can see you what your child knows, but they can become aware of what they themselves know. Repeat for other numbers. NOTE: Students will tend to write a lot at first because they don't realize what is an acceptable answer. Encourage them by giving them an example or two for another number. This should kick start their thinking. Examples students could write are: addition or subtraction sentences that equal 12. Coins that add to 12. 12 is even. 12 has 1 ten and 2 ones. 12 is a two digit number. 12 is on a clock. There are 12 months in a year. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708596 2019-01-06 23:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708596 Good Question: Write down everything you can about the number 12. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708693 2019-01-06 23:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708693 Parent Note: This focuses on difference as subtraction. Your child may feel confident using larger numbers. They may record their answers systematically for example, 6-1, 7-2, 8-3, 9-4 and so on. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708869 2019-01-06 23:30:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708869 Good Question: The difference between two numbers is 5. What might the two numbers be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708963 2019-01-06 23:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317708963 Parent Notes: This is to show that there is not only one correct way to do a calculation. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709004 2019-01-06 23:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709004 Good Question: Make up some different ways to add 5 to 8 in your head. In how many ways can you do it? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709036 2019-01-06 23:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709036 Parent Notes: Does your child use larger numbers confidently? It is important to use coins or dry beans or similar aids for this type of question. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709076 2019-01-06 23:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709076 Good Question: There are now four chickens in Mrs. Farmer's pen.

What might her/his scores in each of the games be? Follow up question: ? + ? + ? + ? =13. What might the missing numbers be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709247 2019-01-06 23:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709247 Parent Notes: This will show if your child understands that the value of a digit depends on its position within the number. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709494 2019-01-06 23:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709494 Good Question: What numbers can you make that are below 100 and have 6 in the tens place? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709519 2019-01-06 23:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709519 Parent Notes: See if your child is able to find all possible answers. Ask them how they can tell if they have them all. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709547 2019-01-06 23:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709547 Good Question: I am thinking of a number between 10 and 100 with a single 9 in it. What might my number be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709574 2019-01-06 23:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709574 Parent Notes: Does your child record their answers systematically or know when they have recorded all possibilities? Do they include single digits, for example using 5 as one of their answers? Ask them how they got their numbers and why they put a specific number down. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709628 2019-01-06 23:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709628 Good Question: What numbers can you make using 6, 5, and 8? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709694 2019-01-06 23:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709694 Parent Notes: This question helps your child to see that 20 can be named in many ways. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709806 2019-01-06 23:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709806 Good Question: How many different ways can you make the number 20 adding only the numbers 10 and 1? You may use each of these numbers as many times as you wish or not at all. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709819 2019-01-06 23:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709819 Parent Notes: It is important to present answers succinctly. How many different numbers might there be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709867 2019-01-06 23:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709867 Good Question: A two-digit number contains exactly one 4. What might the number be? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709900 2019-01-06 23:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709900 Parent Notes: Rather than tell your child what to use or do to measure a minute, it is interesting to see what they think is useful, and how they go about this. Their response will tell you if they understand how long a minute actually is. If they say something like, "count to sixty" or "walk down the hallway and back again" then you can be confident they have a good understanding. If they say something like "walk to the supermarket and back again" or "eat breakfast" then you can be reasonably sure their understanding is lacking. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709980 2019-01-06 23:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317709980 Good Question: What is something you could do that takes exactly one minute? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710120 2019-01-06 23:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710120 Parent Notes: Your child's response will indicate if they know the distinction between these two time periods. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710144 2019-01-06 23:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710144 Good Question: What are some things you do in the morning and some things you do in the afternoon? jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710177 2019-01-06 23:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710177 Parent Notes: Share your response or have your family share their responses to help your child learn the sequence of months. jonesms https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710217 2019-01-06 23:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jonesms/winchell8/wish/317710217 Good Question: I know someone who has a birthday in the month before yours and one who has it in the month after yours.
