Elementary arithmetic

I find it extremely interesting that most teachers were not able to give the correct answer to the fraction problem. Fractions may take some time to understand, but a teacher should be able to understand and implement a problem regarding fractions. Also, does putting a fraction into story form confuse teachers and so they are not able to put in the correct way? I believe that teachers need to make sure they are not getting confused with connecting the symbols to elements in the story and then…

Teaching math can be a daunting task, especially in the lower grades. Teaching mathematical concepts through lecture and paper and pencil work isn’t enough to achieve deep understanding, math reasoning or problem solving skills. Math manipulatives are “hands on” or virtual materials designed to engage students in active investigation to gain higher levels of understanding. Manipulatives not only allow students to explore concepts, but also allow teachers to see what students are thinking. “The…

I am Zero. I do not have a number, I am where the numbers begin. It’s hard to explain. I like the number three, but I don’t like it if it’s with four or five. Unlike the number five, I like the number four, but not if it’s with five or three. This isn’t because of how the numbers look, it’s because each number has a color. Five is red, three is yellow, and four is a mild green color. Nine is a dark, almost-black purple color and two is a very light blue, which is why they go so well together.…

READING The Basic Reading Skills composite measures EE107’s ability to read a list of words and correctly pronounce nonsense words. EE107’s standard score of 75 falls in the low range at the 5th percentile, indicating that she performed at or 5 percent of her peers. Based on EE107’s performance on this composite, it appears that she will benefit from explicit instruction on word recognition skills and phonics skills. Reading Fluency refers to the ability to read quickly and accurately. It is…

Grade-Level Introduction As students are gaining their formal educational experience, the emphasis in mathematics in fourth grade continues to develop and target Number and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Data and Probability. Many essential components addressed in fourth grade will encompass real world experiences that naturally pique the student’s problem solving skills, engage reasoning and communication with others, provide a powerful and positive…

This lesson was written for fourth grade students with specific learning disabilities during a small group math instruction in a general education classroom.
