1. Five Keys to teaching using MathLine GETTING STARTED WITH MATHLINE

2. Five Keys to teaching using MathLine Will ensure your students succeed

3. Five Keys to teaching using MathLine Makes teaching math more fun & easier

4. Five Keys to teaching using MathLine Increases teachers’ CONFIDENCE teaching math!

5. Key 1 Students learn on MathLine because of the one-to-one correspondence. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine between the concrete object and the abstract number.

6. Start with all the rings to the right Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 1

7. With no rings the student sees zero… Now when we move one ring over… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 1

8. We see one ring and the symbol 1… Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

9. Move another ring See 2 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

10. Move another ring See 3 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

11. Move another ring See 4 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

13. Move another ring See 6 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

14. Move another ring See 7 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

15. Move another ring See 8 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

16. Move another ring See 9 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

17. Move another ring See 10 on MathLine Key 1 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

18. If they don’t understand the 1-1 correspondence, MathLine will not help them. It is from this 1-to-1 relationship that teachers and students model over 50 K-5 math concepts. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine

19. As a teacher, if you see students going back counting rings when they get an answer – Some students may learn and then forget. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine you may need to re-teach one-to-one correspondence.

20. Blues indicate groups of 5 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 2 Reds indicate groups of 10

21. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 2

22. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 2 What to look for: Have students use red and blue rings to count more efficiently when appropriate

23. Clear the MathLine when starting any activity! Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 3

24. Start with rings to the right when beginning any exercise Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 3

25. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 3 This way they will always start any problem or activity from the “0.”

26. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 3 What to look for: Students should be clearing the rings to the right before starting a new activity.

27. Grouping Method on MathLine Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

28. The grouping method is a simple strategy to be accurate while learning with MathLine Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

29. If a student were to add: Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 6 + 7 =

30. They may count 6… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 123456

31. Then count 7… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 1234567

32. And see the answer Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

33. However, when students are manipulating on MathLine, the reality is… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

34. some students accidentally: Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 Get distracted Lose count Or just count wrong

35. 1) Build the groups Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 2) Check the groups 3) Do the operation The Grouping Method:

36. Example: Add 6 & 7 Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 Group of 6

37. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 Group of 7

38. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 2) Check 1234561234567

39. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 3) Do the operation

40. This works for operations, Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4 Basic skills, Anytime students are counting groups on MathLine

41. What to look for: If students are doing simple operations… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

42. And they are getting wrong answers, show them the Grouping Method. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 4

43. If we start a group on one bar… Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 It continues on the next

44. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 For example: When counting by tens….

45. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Count 10

46. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Count 20

47. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Count 30

48. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Continue the group when they move to the next bar…

49. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 See the 2 nd half of the “30 Group of Ten” on the next bar

50. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Another example: 5 x 7

51. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Have students build 5 groups of 7 5 x 7

52. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 One group of 7

53. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Two groups of 7

54. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Three groups of 7

55. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Four groups of 7 1

56. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Four groups of 7 12

57. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Four groups of 7 123

58. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 Four groups of 7 1234

59. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 1234 5 If we start a group on one bar… It continues on the next

60. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 1234 56 It continues on the next

61. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 1234 567 It continues on the next

62. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 1234 567 Four groups of 7

63. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 1234 567 Five groups of 7

64. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 What to look out for:

65. Five Keys to Teaching with MathLine Key 5 If students start a new group when they move to a new bar… And not continue the group from the previous bar.

66. Recap: Key 1 Understanding one to one correspondence

67. Recap: Key 2 Color indications

68. Recap: Key 3 Start with a clear MathLine

69. Recap: Key 4 The Grouping Method

70. Recap: Key 5 If we start a group on one bar… It continues on the next
