CURS 4240U Lecture Notes - Cognitive Dissonance
Document Summary
Math activity ideas: wrote out hard question -> work in groups of four. Find out different ways to answer the question. Don"t point out what way is wrong -> show constructive criticism. Gather on carpet in a circle: projector -> had kids write out "one", "two" etc. , and random numbers verbally. Though figure out why they were making these mistakes -> don"t make them repeat again. 73 -> not 703 for seventy-three , but kids would make that mistake. The difference between place value and face value: 62 -> when they say "six and two" -> face value. No understanding of how much that is for each digit. Just like when they say 4:31 is "four dot dot three one: place value understanding is most important. Face value when they have no real understanding of what those numbers mean: 67 -> 60 + 7, 18 -> 10 + 8. Kids need to see it broken up like this.
