Big Ideas 4 - 6Session 3


Continuing with..

• Tonight we will finish our work with number operations and go on to patterns and relations and statistics and probability.


Alternate algorithms

• We ended last time talking about the value of alternate strategies (or algorithms).


Would you…

• calculate 532 – 99 the same way you would calculate 532 – 111?

• Use a √ for yes and an x for no.


Would you…

• calculate 532 – 99 the same way you would calculate 532 – 111?

• Use a √ for yes and an x for no.

• Should students?


22 x 13• Here are two ways to represent 22 x 13.

What about division?

Let’s think about both

• what it means and

• how to calculate


Which representation?

• Which picture best shows what 72 ÷ 3 means? (You will vote soon.)


Which representation?

• Which picture best shows what 72 ÷ 3 means? (You will vote soon.)


Vote

• A for 1st picture

• B for 2nd picture

• C if you think they’re equally good

• D if you think neither is good

I will ask a few people to explain their thinking.


And what procedure?

• What do each of the procedures on the next screen help a student see better than the other ones?

• Vote A,B or C to tell me which you are willing to talk about in terms of what is good about it.

• I will call on people in each category.


115 ÷ 5 23 10 + 10 + 3

What about estimating?

• Let’s think about estimating questions.

• It’s no longer just about rounding rules.

• Consider these questions.


I added….

• 3 numbers.

• One is little.

• One is close to double the other.

• The sum is 5000.

• What could the numbers be?

• Type your numbers on next empty screen.



I subtracted…

• a number from 3000.

• The result had the digits 3 and 4 in it.

• What could the subtraction have been?

• Write some numbers on next empty screen.



The product is..

• The product of two numbers is almost 400.

• What might the numbers be?

Raise your hand to respond.


I wonder..

• I divided []3[] by 4.

• The answer was a 3 digit number.

• Tell me anything about []3[] that you’re sure of.

Raise your hand to respond.

• Grade 6- generalizations written using variables; model equality preservation


Algebra big ideas


Try this

• What situation might 2w describe?

• Type some possibilities on the next screen.



Try this

• Jeff got $12 in allowance every week.

• What does 6 x w tell about the situation?

A: his allowance

B: his allowance in w weeks

C: his allowance in 2 xw weeks

D: his allowance in w ÷ 2 weeks


Try this

• Jeff got $12 in allowance every week.

• What does 12w tell about the situation?

• What equation would you solve to find out how many weeks until he had $156?


The solution is…

• The solution to an equation is x = 2.

• What might the equation have been?

• Type some possibilities on the next screen.

How do these differ in the impression they give? Raise

your hand.


What will happen

• I will show you a graph.

• I will mention some things you might think it shows well.

• If you think it is easy to see, click a happy face.

• If not, click a thumbs down.


What does this graph about how I divide my day show?


The big idea


Other important big ideas

• Pictographs and bar graphs are particularly useful for comparing frequency of data in different categories.

• Line graphs are particularly useful for showing relationships between quantities and trends.


Probability

• Grade 5- verbal comparisons of likelihood

• Grade 6- experimental/theoretical probability


Using probability language

• Choose which is most likely about a new kid joining a Grade 5 class:

• A: It’s a boy.

• B: The student is the same age as lots of other kids in the class.

• C: The student lives in the area.

• D: The student is human.


Now…

• You write a phrase that is:

• Almost certain

• Impossible

• Very likely

• Very unlikely


A Big Idea


You just flipped a coin and…

• You got

• H H H H H H H H H

Vote:

√ if you think a H next time

X if you think a T next time


Experimental probability

• You are going to create an experiment using ONE die.

• The result you want should happen about three-fourths of the time.

• What would you choose for your result?

• Some choices are on the next screen.


Choices

• A: an even number

• B: a number more than 2

• C: anything but 1

• D: a number less than 5


Big Ideas


Sharing Time

• I hope some of you have stories to share.


I am hoping that :

• you will try out one of the questions we discussed or, even better, your own question to bring out a big idea in number.

• We’ll talk about the results next time.
