Number 1-10 Relationships

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

1. I (and students in general) have more experience with and strategies for trying to find patterns in numbers because that’s one of the weird things we’re taught in school (in pre-algebra, algebra,

Numeracy development is important for all children as maths is an important part of everyday life. The way in which maths is taught has changed greatly over the years. When I was at school we were taught one method to reach one answer. Now, particularly in early primary phase, children are taught different methods to reach an answer, which includes different methods of working out and which also develops their investigation skills. For example, by the time children reach year six, the different methods they would have been taught for addition would be number lines,

The chapter illustrates the connection between math and language by expressing the explicit differences between two cultures. He compares the brevity of Chinese numbers to those of English numbers. For example, the words for Chinese numbers are most likely monosyllabic, resulting in a lesser time to say and process them. The number seven in the Cantonese dialect of Chinese is pronounced as “qi” (Gladwell). This brief number system can be beneficial to toddlers and children learning how to speak and perform simple mathematical functions. A child will better process numbers in the Chinese number system rather than those of the English number system, and early learning can help a child’s brain grow more rapidly as the child grows older. The Chinese language can be seen as advantageous because it helps with processing the number system. This connection between language and math can be seen in other real-world situations, as

Hurst and Hurrell (2014) explain that children need to be acutely aware of the ten times multiplicative relationship between places and how this effects many aspects of mathematics.

The learning provision for numeracy development for children is very important from the beginning of their learning platform as maths is a key in every day live for everyone.

- To encourage the effective use of numeracy and maths as a tool in a wide range of activities within and out of school

Students will use the words more or greater than, less than, same or equal to through and interactive text on numbers.

For pupils to use a calculator effectively requires a sound knowledge of number. As children learn how to enter simple one step calculations that involve whole numbers, they can explore

This week I was observed during a particularly challenging math lesson. My lesson was elapsed time. My hope was to successfully try Sherry Parish’s, Number Talks method that Sabine Smead at Boulder County School for Integrated Studies, had introduced and modeled for us the week before at Friday Seminar.

Strategy: Identify Arithmetic Patterns. Students identify patterns in numbers; students can do this by looking at the pattern: 2, 4, 6, 8 and using the 2 more, 1 less strategy to realize that the numbers are going up in increments of two.

This synthesis paper is examining the direct link between counting and building student’s number sense. The study conducted by Baccaglini-Frank and Maracci (2015), number sense as being vital to learning formal mathematics and stated there was a positive correlation between using fingers for counting and representing numbers has a positive effect on number sense. Students need opportunities to practice counting and establish foundational skills in number sense in order to be successful during their mathematical futures. It was determined that touching, moving, and seeing representations are essential components of the mathematical thinking process (Baccaglini-Frank & Maracci, 2015).

The aims and importance of learning provision for numeracy development are to ensure all students understand that maths is a vital part of everyday life and will continue to be used throughout their life. Primary schools will teach students to learn various methods and techniques to be able to reach the correct answer. The end goal means more students will be able to solve a mathematical problem, independently, using a method that suits them. They can then develop their learning to improve their knowledge and apply it to real life situations; such as counting in groups of numbers such as 5’s or 10’s, which in turn can be applied when paying for

There are several theories used by Psychologists to explain how relationships are formed. This paper will be looking at 3 of them: Needs Satisfaction Theory, Matching Hypothesis and Sociobiological Theory.

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).
