Transcript of Concrete Letter to... · Example P6: 3. Draw diagrams / pictures / models 10 ... the practices of...
• ConcreteUsing manipulatives or other resources to construct meanings and understanding
• PictorialUsing pictorial representations e.g. number bonds, model drawing to solve problems
• AbstractUsing only numbers to solve problems
1. Refeed answers to check if answers are correct
3 + ____ = 20
Checking: 3 + 17 = 20
R : P R : S
5 : 6 2 : 3
10 : 12 10 : 15
R : P : S
10 : 12 : 15
37units = 3996
1 unit = 3996 ÷ 37
= 108
10 units = 10 x 108 = 1080 (Ravi)
12 units = 12 x 108 = 1296 (Peter)
15 units = 15 x 108 = 1620 (Samad)
Check: 1080 + 1296 + 1620 = 3996
2. Create an example using smaller/whole numbers
Question: 47 + ___ = 90
Example: 1 + ___ = 5
( - )
Therefore, 47 + ___ = 90
( - )
