Let’s translate: 2 carots 5 peas 3 carots 4 peas 1 carrot 6 peas 1 pea 6 carrots 2 peas 5 carrots What did you notice in the spelling? What choices are missing?
What is he/she thinking?
Why did you make equations? You could have 1 pea, 6 carrots. I know because 1 + 6 = 7. B But the answer to the problem is 1 pea and 6 carrots not 1 + 6 = 7. 0 + 7 is wrong. We cannot accept it.

He said peas 3, carits 3. I said 3 and 3 is 6 He said peas 3, carits 3. I said 3 and 3 is 6. He repeated peas 3, carits 4. I said no 3 and 3 is 6. He changed to peas 3, carrots 4. I would suggest next time a line through the mistake. Can we edit the spelling?
What is he/she thinking?
I asked the class: Do you see peas and carrots I asked the class: Do you see peas and carrots? Yes we think there are both in the picture. How many carrots do you see? Five. Someone circle the five carrots. (All 5 at once) Let’s label 5 beside the carrots. What is the rest of the solution? 2 peas and he wrote 2 peas. Up top read the symbols for me. Two equals plus five. That makes no sense and does not explain his answer. 2 peas and 5 carrots explains his answer. Rub out the symbols.
What is he/she thinking?
He called me over to ask how he could show different solutions. He had 6 peas, 1 carrot. That is his number 1. He had 2 peas, 5 carrots. That is his number 2. He had 3 peas, 4 carrots. I suggested he put lines between to keep them separate. Later he told thew class he used the lines to separate the areas on his page.
