Teacher: "Now class, whatever I ask, I want you to all answer at once. How much is six plus 4 ?"
Class: "At once !"
This week, we begin a unit focusing on addition, subtraction and probability. This unit will support fluency of basic operations and standard notation. We will develop strategies for solving facts, from counting on and counting backwards to using known facts to solve the unknown. This unit helps students develop strategies by presenting certain collections of facts in relation to one another rather than random bits of information to be memorized.
This week we will construct a class chart of addition and subtraction facts. Whole group games will introduce fact families and strategies. These games will resurface in our first round of Work Places (independent practice).
