- Collaborate with an open mind!
- Listen with intent to learn.
- Take care of your needs.
- Silence your cell phones.
- Suffering is optionalEnjoy yourself!
- What is learned hereLeaves here!
4GOALS
- Know the similarities and differences between
rounding and compatible numbers - Understand that the goal of the TEKS is that
students can use multiple strategies to
approximate quantities based on real world
situations - Understand that flexibility with numbers and
numerical reasoning builds number sense that
encourages various strategies for estimation. - Understand how to build number sense at your
grade level!
5AGENDA Day 2
- What is Number Sense?
- Decomposing Numbers
- and - Number Sense Strategies
- Multiplication Fluency
- Multiplication Fact Strategies
- Fluency Games
6At your table
- Discuss the relationship between
- Composing and Decomposing Numbers
- Number Sense
- Mathematical Fluency
7Some Sum!
- Find the sum of the following numbers
- 3996 4246
8Did you use the carrying algorithm?
- If you didnt, CONGRATULATIONS!
9Students Using Number Sense Might
- Remove 4 from 4,246 and make that 4,242. Combine
the 4 with 3,996 to make the problem 4,000
4,242. - Other ways?

11The Algorithm Step by Step
- Write down the problem
- 3996
- 4246
12Childrens Struggles with Algorithms
- Remembering the steps
- Understanding the steps
- Children lose sight of place value since the
numbers are treated as digits and not quantities. - The steps seem nonsensical to children.
- Children simply begin to repeat procedures.
- Because it is nonsensical, meaning is lost.
- Children become satisfied with nonsensical
answers. (dont question wrong answers)
13Sometimes algorithms use less paper.

20What is the 1 mathematical complaint from MS
teachers who inherit your students?
21Brain Research Remembering Math Facts
- Human brain organizes information by patterns and
associations. - Associative memory causes problems when learning
multiplication facts.
22Why Decompose?
Working Memory
23Brain Research Remembering Math Facts
- Say these math facts aloud
- 6 x 9 54
- 7 x 8 56
- 8 x 8 64

- Carl Gary lives on Brian Allen Ave.
- 3 x 7 21
- Gary Edwards lives on Carl Edward Ave.
- 7 x 5 35
28- How did you do?
- How did this test make you feel?
- Would you want the teacher to take a grade on
your work?
29Math Facts???
- Do students have to know their math facts?
- What does knowing your math facts mean?
30Do the multiplication tables help or hinder?
- How do they hinder?
- If childrens introduction to arithmetic rests
primarily on the rote memorization of addition
and multiplication tables and other facts, then
their intuitive understandings of number
relationships are undermined and overwhelmed. - Children then shift from intuitive processing to
performing automatic operations without caring
about their meaning.
31Do the multiplication tables help or hinder?
- How do they help?
- If instruction in beginning arithmetic takes
advantage of number sense, subitizing, and
counting strategies by making connections to new
mathematical operations, then the tables become
tools leading to a deeper understanding of
mathematics, rather than an end unto themselves.
32Memorization vs. Automaticity
- Read pgs. 98-99 (YM_at_W)
- Teachers who use timed tests believe that the
tests help children learn basic facts. Children
who perform well under time pressure display
their skills. Children who have difficulty with
skills, or who work more slowly, run the risk of
reinforcing wrong learning under pressure. In
addition, children can become fearful and
negative toward their math learning. - (Burns, 2000, p. 157)
33Strategies for Multiplication Facts
- Doubles
- Fives Facts
- Zeros and Ones
- Nifty Nines
34SoWhat Else Can We Do?
- If you didnt know the answer to 6 x 8
- how could you figure it out by using something
that you do know? - Decompose multiplication facts daily!
35Helping Fact Strategies
- Double and Double Again 4 x 8
- 4 must be one of the factors
- Double and One More 3 x 7
- Facts w/ a factor of 3
- Half then Double 8 x 6
- One factor must be even
- Add one more set 6 x 7
- Known fact is one away
36Lets Practice
- 6 x 9
- 7 x 7
- 8 x 3
- 9 x 8
- 7 x 8
37Fact Remediation for the Upper Grades
- Recognize that more drill will not work!
- Inventory the known and unknown facts for each
student in need. - Diagnose strengths and weaknesses.
- Provide HOPE!
- Build in Success

42Tips for Estimation
- Help students learn strategies by having them use
a specified approach. Later activities should
permit students to choose whatever techniques
they wish. - Periodically discuss how different students made
their estimates. This will help students
understand that there is no single right way to
estimate and also remind them of different
approaches that are useful. - Accept a range of estimates. Think in relative
terms about what is a good estimate. - Teaching Student Centered Mathematics Grades
