MATHEMATICAL PROCESS STANDARDS
The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding. The student is expected to:
The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding. The student is expected to:
A. Apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace
B. Use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and reasonableness of the solution
C. Select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology, as appropriate, and techniques including mental math, estimation, and number sense, as appropriate, to solve problems.
D. Communicate mathematical ideas, reasoning, and their implications using multiple representations, including symbols, diagrams, graphs and language as appropriate
E. Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
F. Analyze mathematical relationships to connect and communicate mathematical ideas
G. Display, explain, and justify mathematical ideas and arguments using precise mathematical language in written and oral communication
NUMBER CORNER BINDER IDEA
November Number Corner Activity: Spill the beans
How to Play
•Gather class in the number corner.
•Display the 5 frame side.
•Introduce the bean counters.
•Set out 5 bean counters white side up.
•Turn each one over to show students that each bean is both red and white.
•Put them in the cup.
•Ask a student helper shake the cup and gently spill the beans
•Ask students to think silently about how many red beans and white beans they see.
•Arrange the beans in the five frame putting all the red ones together and all the white ones together.
•Ask how many beans are all together?
•Students hold up their finger pattern to represent the number all together.
SPILL THE BEANS LOGISTICS:
Play under the document camera.
Use magnetic 2 color items to display on the five frame on the board for all students to see.
Move students to area that is more convenient for students to see the activity.
Do this activity or extend it at another time in the day. (Doesn’t have to be during number corner time)
