Mathematize It! Grades K-2 : Going Beyond Key Words to Make Sense of Word Problems, Grades K-2. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Mathematize It! Grades K-2 : Going Beyond Key Words to Make Sense of Word Problems, Grades K-2

Help students reveal the math behind the words

Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution. 

Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem’s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it.

This user-friendly resource for Grades K-2

·         Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems

·         Provides specific examples of questions and explorations for addition and subtraction of whole numbers as well as early thinking for multiplication and division

·         Demonstrates the use of concrete manipulatives to model problems with dozens of short videos

Kimberly Morrow-Leong is an adjunct instructor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, a part-time researcher at American Institutes for Research, and a consultant for Math Solutions. She is a former grade 5–9 classroom teacher, K–8 mathematics coach, and coordinator of elementary professional development for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). She recently completed an elected term as vice president and 2018 program chair for NCSM, Leadership in Mathematics Education. She holds a BA in French language and a masters in linguistics (TESOL). She also holds an MEd and PhD in mathematics education leadership from George Mason University. Kim is the 2009 recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) from Virginia. She is happiest when working with teachers and students, putting pencils down and getting messy with manipulatives!
