Traditional Method:
12
x 15
60
+ 120
180
Transitional Method:
12 think:
x 15
60 (5 x 12)
+ 120 (10 x 12)
180
Alternative Method:
12 think:
x 15
100 (10 x 10)
20 (10 x 2)
50 (10 x 5)
+ 10 (5 x 2)
180
Traditional Method:
14 think:
4 ) 58 1x4=4
-4 Subtract 5-4=1
18 Bring down 8
-16 4 x 4 = 16
2 Subtract 18-16 = 2
Alternative Method:
4 think:
10
4 )58
-40 10 x 4
18 Subtract 58-40= 18
-16 4 x 4 = 16
2 Subtract 18-16= 2
Add 10 +4 = 14
Drill and practice is inappropriate when it involves a method that makes no sense to
the student.
Instruction with algorithms ought to stress estimation, number sense, and skills in
selecting the tool to perform a given calculation.
Space figures have three dimensions. Some examples are cubes, spheres, blocks and
boxes, globes, pyramids, and eggs.
Regular polygons- multi-sided shapes that are closed with equal sides and angles.
Chapter 9 activities discussed with the class. Topics included Geoboards, Logo
program, tangrams, pentominoes, similar triangles, and angles constructed with
sticks.
