We started with Quiz 2 on meaning of division of fractions - followed by a discussion of the meanings of operations.
Addition & Subtraction
1. Part-Whole Model
2. Change Model
3. Comparison Model
Division
1. Sharing
2. Grouping
How about multiplication?
We focus on some early number concepts - place value, for example. We played some games and I demonstrated some maths tricks. For example, try to goggle fido dido puzzle. We played that today.
We discussed Zoltan Dienes' idea of variation.
We ended the class with a children's literature session where I read a book to teach measurements - How Big Is A Foot?
The class were asked to blog about their views on how to sequence the teaching of place value. I am writing a separate blog for this.
