There were four dog houses. Each dog house had four dogs in it. What describes this best?
I think it's:
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 |
I think it's:
5 x 4 = 20 20 - 4 = 16 |
I think it's:
4 + 4 + 4 = 12 |
Teacher Notes:
Same as yesterday. Kids draw and discuss who is right.
I have been getting them to draw each one.
Scaffold the sense making sentence - Replace x with "groups of"...
Again, explicitly link the problem, the equation, to the picture.
Note: There are two right answer above!
