Lesson details
Key learning points
- Known facts can be used to help us solve equations and problems efficiently.
- Numbers can be partitioned to bridge ten to help us work efficiently.
- When equations are solved, it is important to choose a strategy that allows you to solve the problem efficiently.
Keywords
Strategy - A method used to solve a problem or equation.
Data - Another word for information.
Bar chart - A graphical display of data using bars of different heights; another name for a bar graphs.
Common misconception
When faced with problems, children may revert to using inefficient counting strategies instead of more efficient calculation strategies.
Record equation required to solve a problem, then explicitly discuss the most efficient strategy to solve it, drawing on prior knowledge and strategies such as use of known facts and the bridge ten strategy.
