Topic: B. Computation: (Specific grade 1. Use and apply estimation with
quantities, measurements, computations, and
problem-solving. Use and understand estimation Students will estimate the answers to
addition and subtraction problems by rounding to the nearest
10 or 100 and then do the mathematical computation. They can
check their calculations with a calculator.
Given an example the students will
round the numbers before adding and/or subtracting to the
nearest ten. They will then add or subtract numbers to find
answer. Then they will go back and do actual problem and
compare both answers. estimate 2. Use multiple strategies in solving
problems involving addition and subtraction of whole
numbers. Problem Solving Students will complete this example
and similar word problems exploring different
strategies. Posing and Solving
Problems with Story Boxes by Donna Burk & Allyn
Snider Given a word problem students will
select an appropriate operation and solve the problem. The
solution will demonstrate some of the following strategies:
guess/estimate and check, draw a picture and/or use
manipulatives, to figure the problem out. They will explain
their thinking orally, in writing, and/or drawing strategies 3. Show understanding of addition and
subtraction by using a variety of materials, strategies, and
symbols. Demonstrate addition and subtraction
using a variety of tools. Students will practice writing and
solving problems using a variety of strategies: drawing Resources: Touch points
activities Students will solve basic addition and
subtraction problems that include with and without
regrouping, single and double digits by using manipulatives
and/or other strategies. They will demonstrate their
understanding of at least 2 strategies for solving the
problem by drawing how they solved the problem. They will
also write or tell about the methods they used. Students will be able to fill in
missing addends and +, - signs. plus
Students will understand and demonstrate computation skills.
