The traditional, rote approach to teaching algorithms fosters beliefs such as the following: mathematics consists mostly of symbols on paper; mathematics consists mostly of symbols on paper; following the rules for manipulating those symbols is of prime importance; following the rules for manipulating those symbols is of prime importance; mathematics is mostly memorization; mathematics is mostly memorization; mathematics problems can be solved in no more than 10 minutes — or else they cannot mathematics problems can be solved in no more than 10 minutes — or else they cannot be solved at all; speed and accuracy are more important in mathematics than understanding; speed and accuracy are more important in mathematics than understanding; there is one right way to solve any problem; there is one right way to solve any problem; different (correct) methods of solution sometimes yield contradictory results; and different (correct) methods of solution sometimes yield contradictory results; and mathematics symbols and rules have little to do with common sense, intuition, or the real world. mathematics symbols and rules have little to do with common sense, intuition, or the real world.
Active Learning Fact Families in Arrays. (2-dimensional models) 1 x 5 = 5 2 x 5 = 10 3 x 5 = 15 2 NSN 13 Product is 12. What are the possible arrays?
You can teach multiplication facts using arrays to give students a second perspective on these relationships For example – how many different ways can you make 48?
Rafi had 12 cookies on a plate. If he ate them 3 at a time, how many times could he go back for cookies? Addition: = 12 Solution: 4 times Subtraction: = 0 Solution: 4 times Multiplication: 4 (trips) x 3 = 12 Solution: 4 times Division: 12 3 = 4 Solution: 4 times
Working With ‘Different’Algorithms: 1.Help children develop a strong understanding of the operations. 2. Develop efficient strategies for fact retrieval. 3. Provide practice in the selection and use of these strategies.
