How to
use this web exercises...
The
activities within each book have been
developmentally sequenced. This allows
teachers to work through the book from the front to
the back cover. Alternatively, a confident teacher
may want to develop his or her own sequence by
drawing on related activities from the different
sections of the page. For example, after completing
the doubling activities for addition, the teacher
may want to focus on the idea of using related
doubles to subtract.
The
students should be 'walked' through the activity on
the pages and encourages to share their strategies
and methods of computation.
Work Out page can sharpen student's mental skill.
Ask them to complete all of the pages. This can be
done in school time or as set homework. It is
important to correct this page as a class. This will
give the students further opportunities to share
their strategies and to explain their thinking.
Assessment
It
is important to know how confident and competent
students are at using a particular strategy. This
information can be used to judge whether they need
further experiences with that strategy, or if they
are ready to progress to the next strategy.
