These will be very helpful!

I want to help her with better understanding on how these problems work. It seems like math in general is getting thrown at these kids much earlier than when I was in school. *ugh* I went into the 4th grade K-5 Math Teaching Resources and came across the 4.OA2 the Sample multiplicative comparison problems. I understand that it's only a "sample", but this is exactly or very close to what I was lookin for. But, is there a way I can possibly get the answers to it? Again as a parent its been awhile since i've been in school, nowadays, I'm havin to Google quite often. And this will help me to help her. Thanks in advance!Beaner76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01831723505983806442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903894667643009940.post-30571941725676588262013-01-21T01:25:11.556-05:002013-01-21T01:25:11.556-05:00Thank you so much!

It is the nature of the teaching beast :)<br /> Multiplicative comparisons are common core based (4.OA. 1). The kids really need to think about what is missing from the problem and how they can solve it. I taught it through the integration of algebra (when they write the equation) to show the missing part as a variable. It was a lot of discussion about what part of the problem is missing, how to represent it, and how to solve for it.<br /> Once you do some research, if you have any questions, let me know and I can definitely try to help you with it :) My students aren't experts at this, but they do have a deeper understanding of multiplicative comparison problems.<br />--jenjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881636387931238996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903894667643009940.post-18150464823990162392013-01-20T18:34:21.630-05:002013-01-20T18:34:21.630-05:00Ok, I talked myself down off the ledge now that I ...Ok, I talked myself down off the ledge now that I see it IS common core and I do recognize it within the standard...I just sometimes ignore the vocabulary because it sounds weird.

But, this is a new term for me (my heart rate is increasing because now I'm wondering if I SHOULD know what this is?!?) However, I LOVE that you included this freebie and the website so I can do some research. Is this common core? (I'm trying to remain calm- I still have time to teach this- haha...I'm so behind already!!) Thanks for sharing this! (I promise I'm not crazy- this is just that time I get stressed about fitting it all in!!<br /><br />Amanda<br /><a href="http://collaborationcuties.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Collaboration Cuties</a>Collaboration Cutieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16122253672860742699noreply@blogger.com
