Think of a number (single digits are easiest) Multiply it by 10 Add 6 Divide by 2 Add 2 Divide by one more than your original number The answer is......
3
Patterns are evidence of underlying mathematical structure Patterns of same-ness; patterns of difference
4
Different starting numbers same relationship
5
60 ÷ 1 = 60 60 ÷ 2 = 30 60 ÷ 3 = 20 60 ÷ 4 = 15 60 ÷ 5 = 12 60 ÷ 6 = 10 60 ÷ 7 = ?? = 0.1 = 10% = 0.333... = 33%
6
Teacher – generated (deliberate or accidental)

1 ÷ 9 = 0.111 … 2 ÷ 9 = 0.222 … 3 ÷ 9 = 0.333 … 4 ÷ 9 = 0.444 … 5 ÷ 9 = 0.555 … 6 ÷ 9 = 0.666 … 7 ÷ 9 = 0.777 … 8 ÷ 9 = 0.888 … 9 ÷ 9 = 0.999 …

23 ÷ 10 = 2.3 23 ÷ 20 = 0.23

Patterns in the effects of actions can be evidence of mathematical meaning

18
Reflection on a whole piece of work can reveal similarities and differences with other objects
19
Think of a number › Multiply it by 12 and divide by 3 › Now multiply the output by 3 and divide by 12 Think of a number Multiply it by 15 and divide by 5 Now multiply the output by 5 and divide by 15 Think of a number › Multiply it by a and divide by b › Now multiply the output by b and divide by a
20
Two triangles enlarged additively and multiplicatively
21
› What do I know now that I did not know an hour ago? › What could I do now that I would not have thought of an hour ago? › How did I come to know these new things? Reflection can trigger awareness of change and growth in knowledge
22
reflect on what they have produced, to look for patterns reflect on the effects of their actions, so they can make predictions, check their work, invent short cuts know that reasoning from experience can lead to false conjectures so we need logical reasoning too
23
Provide sequences of tasks that reveal mathematical patterns: different/same Encourage learners to reflect on the effects of their actions, so they can make predictions, check their work, invent short cuts Provide tasks that show how reasoning from experience can sometimes be misleading
24
well-structured tasks and prompts can make reflection a habit methods and concepts of the multiplicative relationship interact reflection can transform knowledge about calculation engaging the reflective mind can enrich understanding
