What are we doing??October 15th - November 16th
Bits and Pieces II: The overall goal of Bits and Pieces II is to develop meaning for and skill with computations involving fractions. This unit does not teach a specific or preferred algorithm for working with rational numbers. Instead it helps the teacher create a classroom environment in which students work on problems and generate ideas and strategies that make sense to them. At a point in the development of each operation, students are asked to pull together their strategies into an algorithm that works for all fraction situations involving that operation. Students are expected to have an understanding of the meaning for computations with fractions, specifically multiplying and dividing fractions. Bits and Pieces III: Bits and Pieces III is designed to provide experiences in building algorithms for the four basic operations with decimals, as well as opportunities for students to consider when such operations are useful in solving problems. As the title also implies, this unit uses the students’ knowledge of operations with decimals to return to percents and to further develop students’ understanding and skill in solving percent problems. |
