Educational Strategies/Instructional Procedures

Warm-up Activity:

Read the following problem for the class and have each student respond by raising his/her hand
to volunteer to answer.

Two numbers have a sum of 1700 and a difference of 500. What are the numbers? 1100 and
600.

Next, have the students use number wheels or they may play the thumbs up, thumbs down game
to indicate a correct or incorrect response. If the answer is more than 40, have the students place
their thumbs up. If the answer is less than 40, have the students will place their thumbs down. If
the answer is exactly 40, have the students stand.

25+30 = ↑

20+14 = ↓

80-40 = Stand

59-4 = ↑

26+15 = ↑

32-12 = ↓

46-6 = Stand

50-10 = Stand

40-14 = ↓

30+12 = ↑

Lesson:

Have the students use the calculators to show how the following activity works. Give several
students markers. Have students get in two lines. Call one line “In”, and the other line “+”.
Have a student from the “In” line place his/her markers in the box. Next, call out the number of
markers to be added and ask someone from line “+” to place them in the box then a person from
the “+” line by calling out the number that should be added. Example: 13

Example: A person from the “In” line pus in seven markers, then the teacher will say (-4, + 4).
The person holding markers in the (-, + plus line) steps forward and counts out the four markers
to be put in the box. Ask the designated, or volunteering, student what will come out of the box.
The reply should be 11. “Speedy reply is one way to measure mastery of a given skill. A speedy
recall response is one which takes only about 1½ seconds from the statement/problem delivery
time.. Continue for about 3 or 4 turns. (Note examples used for addition facts use the same
example for subtraction.)

Subtraction Functions may be done the same way except the plus line would be converted to a
minus line.

10 4 6
16 3 13, etc

Explain that an inverse operation is a process that reverses what a proceeding operation has done.
The following is an example of how subtraction is the inverse of addition. Put the examples
below on the chalkboard.

Example: 17+4 = 21; to undo the addition the sum (21) minus 4 = 17

(17+4 = 21) inverse (21-4 = 17) The students should have the same exact digits in both
examples. In the inverse, the sum of the two addends minus the smaller addend is equal to the
larger addend.

Say: Let’s practice: Have students work the following problems to show an understanding of
inverse operations.

1. 16-4 = (12) 12+4 = (16)


2. 14-2 = (12) 12+2 = (14)

Say: Now that you have had the opportunity to practice a few on your own, write the inverse for
the following:

1. 16-3 = 13 2. 11+2 = 13 3. 10-4 = 6 4. 24-7 = 17


5. 17+3 = 20 6. 9-6 = 3 7. 54-21 = 33 8. 33+12 = 45
9. 19-7 = 12

72

Explain: Function machines are machines similar to a calculator, except that they always add
or subtract the same amount from whatever digits are put into the machine. Example: We have
a (+5) function machine. Any digits put into the machine will automatically have 5 added to
them to give a sum.

Example: You put the digit 8 into the in slot on the machine; when the number comes out, it will
be (8+5), therefore 13 will come out of the out function. For subtraction, 5 would be taken away
from any number put into the machine.

a sum. (addends)

Regrouping: is the process of redistributing digits when there are more digits than a
particular place can accommodate. (Ex: when there are ten (10) or more ones in the ones
column, when there are (10) ten or more tens in the tens place. Ex: Tens, tens = 100; move
to the hundreds place., etc.)

Borrowing-when subtracting the subtrahend digits from the minuend digits, and the
digit/digits in the subtrahend are larger than the digit to be subtracted from, you must borrow
from the digit to the left of the digit being subtracted in order to get a correct difference.

Warm-up Activity:

Don’t Go Over 1000 Game. Allow approximately 10 minutes for this game. After going over
the rules, and demonstrating how the game is played, circulate among the groups to observe
participation of students.

Warm-up: Don’t Go Over 1000 Game


Players: Two or more
Object: To get the sum closest to, but not over 1000.
Math Focus: Place value, multidigit addition and mathematical reasoning.

114
Rules:

1. Roll all four cubes. If you roll a ten (10), roll that cube again.
2. Combine three of the numbers rolled to make a three-digit number.
3. Roll all four cubes again. Make a second three digit number and add it to the first number.
4. You may stop after your second roll, or you may make another three-digit number and add it
to your previous sum.
5. The player whose sum is closest to, but not over 1000 is the winner.

Example:
Janet rolled: Paul rolled:

+ 137
656
+ 329

Winner: Paul

Ask students if they had a choice, would he/she play it the same way, why or why not? Write
responses in math journals.

Lesson:

Have students put pencil and paper aside. Explain to the students that what they are about to do
is solve problems mentally. To solve a problem mentally, devise a strategy to find a correct
solution without using paper and pencil.

Tell them that two of the answers are incorrect and the other answer is the correct response.
Write the following examples on the chalkboard, one at a time.

If the text cited above is not available, use any text with multi-digit addition

115
Example 1: 26 + 43 = (69) Allow students to give a response before giving them the correct
reply. (69) If a student gives the correct response, ask how he/she got the answer.

Example 2: 84 + 54 = 118
108 Follow same procedure as example 1.
138

After going through the examples, use random selection from your text book, and call upon
students to give the answer. Ask a student what strategy was used to arrive at his/her answer.

As a final learning enhancement strategy, have the student’s role play after all the responses have
been given. Those students who were struggling may be paired with another student and given a
problem: Example: 492 + 759 = 1251. Ask one student to play the part of the teacher and
explain the addition algorithm. Once he/she is finished have the students exchange roles and
repeat the process.

Ten Statements

Review the ten statements and have the students write yes if they heard it in today’s lesson and
no if they did not. If the answer is no, say: The statement is true, but it was not heard in today’s
lesson.

1) Missing digits in the addend are replaced by the letter “n”. (yes)
2) Algorithms may be used to explain the steps use to solve the following example: 492 + 759
= 1251. (yes)
3) The game, Don’t Go Over 1000, is designed to help students understand multi-digit addition
and math reasoning. (yes)
4) Place value is one of the steps when one explains the algorithms in multi-digit addition.
(yes)
5) Graphs may be used to show comparisons. (no)
6) Mental math is math solved in one’s head, not with paper and pencil. (yes)
7) Factors are numbers multiplied by another number. (no)
8) The game Don’t Go Over 1000, provides practice with approximating answers and place
value. (yes)
9) When you approximate an answer the object is to get as close as possible to an answer
without actually solving the problem with paper and pencil. (yes)

Educational Strategies/Instructional Procedures

Warm-up Activity:

Give the students the following coins presorted by the teacher to participate in this activity. (1
half dollar, 1 quarter, 1 dime, 2 nickels, and 5 pennies). Students may be paired or grouped if
there are not enough play coins to go around. At least one of each coin must be used. Have
students make exactly one dollar using at least one of each of the above coins.

Lesson:

Remind students of the importance of placing decimal points properly when working with
money problems. Explain the pitfalls. Example: $5.97
+ 3.
$6.00

133
As opposed to the correct way: $5.97
+ $3.00
$8.97

Decimals can be the most damaging aspect of a mathematics problem if improperly placed.
Misplaced decimals in solving money problems can represent the difference between dollars and
cents. Dollar amounts are to the left of a decimal. Cents are to the right of the decimal. When
you add or subtract numbers like 294 minus 101 you align them like this: 294
- 101

Subtract ones from ones, tens from tens and so on. The same is true with adding. Only addition
is used.

Use the chalkboard or the overhead to explain examples.

When adding or subtracting dollar amounts like $4.96 plus or minus $2.23, list them according
to the decimal point. Decimal point: A dot that separates the ones place from the tenth place.
$4.96 $4.96
- $2.23 or + $2.23
$2.73 $7.19

When adding or subtracting dollar amounts, subtract or add dollars to or from dollars, and
cents to or from cents.

Examples: $35.14 $26 $14.07 $26.00


+ $14.26 -$10 +$5.65 -$ 14.07

When writing $26 you can add the decimal point and the two zeros to help line the digits
correctly.

Allow students to ask questions.

Ten Statements

Review the ten statements and have the students write yes if they heard it in today’s lesson and
no if they did not. If the answer is no, say: The statement is true, but it was not heard in today’s

1) A dot that separates the ones place from the tenth place is called a decimal point. (yes)
2) It is important to line decimal points up when solving problems with money amounts. (yes)
3) When solving money problems, separate the dollars from the cents with a decimal point.
(yes)
4) Difference is the answer when subtracting digits. (no)
5) The cents in money problems are to the right of the decimal point. (yes)
6) Cents are in the ones and tens places. (yes)
7) When adding money (dollars and cents), dollars are added to dollars and cents are added to
cents. (yes)
8) Clue words can be used to let you know when to subtract. (no)
9) Misplacing a decimal can cause major problems when solving money problems. (yes)

Answer Key

1. Multi-digit - a problem with three or more digits.

2. In problem #2, the digits in the ones and tens place in the minuend are smaller than the digits
in the ones and tens place in the subtrahend. Borrow one 10 from the tens place and change
them to ones. Subtract 9 from eleven (in the ones place). Now move to the tens place. 9
tens cannot be subtracted from 0 tens. Borrow 10 tens from the hundreds place and subtract.
9 tens from 10 tens equal 1 ten. Finally calculate the hundreds place, 2 hundreds from 3
hundreds equal 1 hundred. The difference is 12.
