Review of
Place Value
Place value should be taught at least once a week but preferably a place value connection should be made almost every day.
The connections to algebraic thinking should be made (collecting like terms) as this will pay off when doing operations with fractions and algebraic expressions.
8
Organization of
the CURRICULUM
All four strands (ŸNumber Sense,
ŸSpatial Sense, ŸProbability and Data Sense
and ŸPattern and Relationship
Sense) should be covered every month
(every week in Primary).
Problem solving often embeds three of the strands depending on whether the problem has a focus on spatial relationships or data relationships. It is usually preferable to introduce a new topic through a problem. The Japanese teachers use this technique effectively.

Making Meaning with the WEEKLY GRAPH
Graphing is a tool for
making meaning
if the data is collected
from the students.
The “Weekly Graph” is
intended to be student
driven
by the fourth week
at the latest.
Eventually the
“Weekly Graph”
becomes a day for
teaching proportional
thinking, decimals,
fractions, percents,
graphing, patterns and
relations, and
probability.

Multi-step Divisionand
Decimal Fractions
The first few times multi-step division is taught it should be done as a whole class.
The errors made should be used as opportunities to investigate conceptual understanding.
Placement of the decimal in the quotient should be done by asking,
“Where does it make sense to put the decimal so that the answer makes sense?”

Many algorithms are culture specific time savers that create accuracy.
The multi-digit regrouping system we use for subtracting is based on the principle of equivalence and is done differently in parts of Europe.
Some Europeans use a system that depends on the principles of balance and equivalence.
17
Many algorithms are culture specific time savers that create accuracy.
The algorithm we use for multi-digit multiplication has changed considerably over the years.
In the middle ages we used a box or window method.
In the fifties we moved the second product over one space which paralleled the way we multiplied using adding machines. Now we add a zero
for the second product. 18
Algorithms in the 21st Century
Algorithms should be developed through discussion with learners because the purpose of teaching algorithms is to develop understanding.
The focus should be on accuracy, then on efficiency.
The most efficient algorithm today is always based on today’s technology.
The most efficient algorithm today is the calculator or the computer but we do need to understand the underlying concept or we don’t know if the answer makes sense. 19

Have the students draw a bar graph of the results.
Do not give students criteria for creating a good graph. Discuss the results and focus on the fact that graphs are supposed to give you a lot of information at a glance. This means that the graph should be neat, have a title and a legend (if necessary).
In the end, the class will have developed assessment criteria from a meaningful context by having students notice what makes a graph a good communication tool.
Self-evaluation is often the most effective.
22
Have students discuss (write) what they know about the class by analyzing the data (graph).
Use the think/pair/share method to create discussion, then share as a group (valuing diversity, creating trust and developing meaning through choice).
Can they think of any questions or extensions?

The games shown in the video are called “Solitaire 10” and “Concentration 10”. Some students in intermediate grades have difficulty adding, and this is a new way to learn an old concept of making tens.

Visual tools are powerful.
After just this one lesson, which may take two or three days to complete, most students when asked to visualize how to make ’15’ with the cards will say, “Get a ten and a five”.
When they say, “Six”, ask them
how they see the six.
They should say, “One and Five”.
This tool works for subtracting 9, 8 and 5, which is almost half of the subtracting facts.

All of the fractions generated in the video
were for ‘what you would expect to get’.
This is called the “Expected Probability”.
What we are really interested in is
the “Experimental Probability”.
The next step is to have each pair or students
do 100 trials each and compare the Expected
Probability to the Experimental Probability.
The difference explains why people gamble.

If each student in the class does 100 trials and then the data is put on a spreadsheet, it is clear that while some students will win if they pick their favourite number, others will lose.
However, the experimental results for the whole class will usually mirror the expected probability.
Government figures the odds, pays less than the expected probability, and makes lots of money.
Gambling then is a tax on the under-educated, often the poor.

There is some research that shows that students in multi-age classes demonstrate superior learning.
This may result from the fact that the teacher knows she has to individualize more because of the spread of ability.
In fact, this is true for all classes even when they are streamed.
I have found it most effective when teaching a multi-age class to teach to the top grade and evaluate
the lower grade at their own level.

EVALUATIONEVALUATIONWork with someone at your table to create criteria for

you will be evaluating.
Keep in mind that the creation of criteria is always a
process of negotiation between you, the curriculum and
your context (class and school).
If you involve the students in creation of the criteria,
they often create criteria that has a high standard of
expectation for excellence.
