About the event
Interpreting word problems is often a difficult task for many students. In this PL you will learn about our innovative additive thinking unit which is designed to transform the way students aged 6-15 years, engage with whole number operations (+, -). We will unveil the deep connections between mathematics and language for the teaching and learning of arithmetic and will explore:
- the structure of additive thinking and not just teach how to do calculations.
- a groundbreaking coordination between mathematical structure and English grammar
- how to construct, interpret, and reason with simple number sentences, and to master the basic additive thinking concepts DIFFERENCE, ADDITION, and SUBTRACTION.
- how to use a color-coding system for numerals that facilitates rich mathematical dialogue and deep understanding of how additive thinking is used in the world.
