Nt1310 Unit 3 Math Assignment

In order to improve my instructional practices, I analyzed instructional data from district math diagnostic and proficiency assessments. The most recent assessment assessed student’s abilities to count, add and subtract, and their understanding of place value. My students scored below not only the other first grade students at the school, but also all first grade students in the district. 81.6% of my students could count, read, and write numbers to 120. This was an improvement from their diagnostic assessment. However, only 66.7% could relate counting to addition and subtraction, and only 45% demonstrated understanding of place value in two digit numbers.

In terms of numeracy, the children were drawing a variety of shapes in the sand which allowed me to use new words with them to further develop their vocabulary. I also used everyday words to help reinforce their existing vocabulary in a new context.

Reinforces important lesson concepts and prepares students for the next lesson. Loops back to the objective and involves students.

Students will also verbally share with the class the different comparison problems they created which will allow students to use the vocabulary terms. The last learning experience, 4, will allow students to continue to build from experience 3 in practicing the vocabulary terms and math symbols. Students will say true math statements as well as create their own. There are several ways students will implement their vocabulary terms in meaningful ways.]

I will walk around the classroom taking notes about each students’ progress, while they work independently and during guided practice. On students desk there will also be colored cards to explain where each student believes they are. A green card will explain that the student understands it, a yellow card means they understand some of it, and red means they do not understand how to complete the work. Data will be kept on a chart with every students’ name. This assessment will show me where additional accommodations may need to be made; therefore, meeting the needs of students with exceptionalities. If I notice a student not being able to understand how to solve the problems, accommodations can be set to help students understand what they are working

Jazmine was introduced to two digit addition. My first lesson focused on drawing tens and ones to solve two digit addition. This strategy would provide Jazmine with the visuals she needs to solve the problem. First, I did a quick review on how to draw tens and ones to represent a number. She was given three examples ranging from easy to hard. Jazmine showed no signs of difficulty and was able to complete the task. Then, I demonstrated how to use the drawings to add two digit numbers. I explained how she must draw the picture for each addend. Then, I explained that she must count the tens first and then the ones. She smiled and said “that's easy”. We went through a couple of problems together and Jazmine displayed that she understood the strategy of drawing tens and ones to solve two digit

Students had previously covered the topic of developing fluency in multiplication by 2-digit numbers. After that topic students moved on to cover number sense, dividing by 1-digit divisors using mental math to prepare them for the following topic of my learning segment. The topic of my learning segment consists of developing fluency, dividing by 1-digit divisors. I designed my lesson as a three-day unit focusing on long division by modeling division with place-value blocks, dividing 2-digit by 1-digit numbers, and dividing 3-digit by 1-digit numbers. Students were introduced to division prior to my learning segment but the struggled to understand and comprehend division because students were only introduced to the division algorithm and were not provided with a mnemonic to help them recall the steps. Students also weren’t introduced to division with manipulatives or drawings. Therefore, I

Cardinality and subitizing are not topics encountered in everyday life, unless you happen to be a math education

In Section D, Daniel demonstrated a primary understanding of the multiplication and division concepts. Daniel can count group items by ones. He also counts one by one to find the solution for involving multiple groups when all objects are modeled. Daniel was able to use different strategies to count the cars in the boxes as he said, “I can count them by twos because there are two cars in each box,”

The lesson that I got to observe was Math. Miss. Phillips started on the smartboard with naming shapes and then she asked four to five students to look around the classroom and find the shapes they were naming from the smartboard. One student found an oval and another student had found a square each student found what Miss. Phillips had asked them to find, then all the students had traced in the air with their finger what shapes Miss. Phillips called out. Now she plays the dice game, each number that it lands on the student writes down and then add each number on the dice. Example 2+5= 7 and then she ask the students to show the number on their hands. Miss. Phillips has some actives set up around the room for them to do Math centers, one table has AB Patterns table 2 has ABB patters then at table 3 has number writing 0-5 at the end of the lesson she had the students meet back at the ABC rug and then they played counting to 100 by singing and dancing, a

The team is using the following manipulatives: place value mats as a visual to show ten more or ten less and unifix cubes to build numbers using tens and ones. Teachers will continue to have students to work in small groups and whole group to model, practice and assess standard NBT.4. See previous lesson lan.

Multiplication by ten gives students opportunity to explore larger numbers, and can also be extended on(Reys et al. ch. 11.4). In addition, multiples of 10 give students the knowledge that all digits move left one place and an additional place hundreths. This concept can be used to introduce the decimal place which is also moving place each time something is multiplied by tens. Exposing students to a range of examples which displays patterns that occur when multiplying by tens and hundreths will generate meaning of digits moving place (Reys et al., ch. 11.4).

3. Read a section of text or show another picture and then have students predict what is going to happen next.

1. Finger Addition: This activity is simple and fun. Students can use it and don’t have to worry about not been able to write or getting confused. Finger counting has been around for years, however, some teachers have not practice it because it looks
