    Basic Operators Besides assigning a variable an initial value, we can also perform the usual mathe- matical operations on variables. Basic operators in Python include +, -, *, /, //, % and ** which represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, floor divi- sion, modulus and exponent respectively. Example: Suppose x = 5, y = 2 Addition:

    Reading this question, I experienced a high level of mathematics anxiety, I realised I could solve this question however I hesitated. I was contemplating ‘how I was going to communicate and explain my thinking?’ Initially to solve this question I utilised ‘the order of operations’, this is a knowledge I previously developed and indicates ‘multiplication and division are always completed before addition and subtraction’ in mathematics. I referred to a text book to extend my understanding, and according to Van de Walle (2010), ‘the power of two’ is an exponent which in this question is merely a shorthand interpretation for repeated multiplication of a number, times by itself.

    His parents could require him to work out five word problems, with a goal that he work out four out of five (80%) correctly before moving on to higher level problems. As his math and applied problem fluency increases, the problems could be harder and the number of problems per session can be increased (7, 8, 9, 10 word problems per sheet). The focus can still be on 80% of the problems correct even as the difficulty and quantity of problems increase. This is based on “Standard - CC.2.1.4.B.2 Using place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic” and “Standard - CC.2.1.5.B.2 extending an understanding of operations with whole numbers to perform operations including

    Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations. Multination can be thought as two qualities that are that represent the multiple of the number. Until now students have focus on finding the difference between to two numbers. Learning about multiplicative comparison will help them compare two quantities by showing that one of the quantities is a number large than the other. For example, students can understand that 20 is 4 times larger than 5, and 20 is 5 times larger than 4.

    Guided Practice PERFORMANCE TASK(S): The students are expected to learn the Commutative and Associative properties of addition and subtraction during this unit. This unit would be the beginning of the students being able to use both properties up to the number fact of 20. The teacher would model the expectations and the way the work is to be completed through various examples on the interactive whiteboard. Students would be introduced to the properties, be provided of their definitions, and then be walked through a step by step process of how equations are done using the properties.

    “One thing is certain: The human brain has serious problems with calculations. Nothing in its evolution prepared it for the task of memorizing dozens of multiplication facts or for carrying out the multistep operations required for two-digit subtraction.” (Sousa, 2015, p. 35). It is amazing the things that our brain can do and how our brain adapt to perform these kind of calculations. As teachers, we need to take into account that our brain is not ready for calculations, but it can recognize patterns.

    The purpose of the M&M Math Project was to figure out what is the most and least recurring color M&M in a regular M&M bag and if the most and least common would change if the M&M product was changed such as to the Pretzel M&Ms. First, I bought four packs of regular & pretzel M&Ms. Next, I put one pack of M&Ms into four bowls, then, separated the M&Ms into six colors and counted them by color and did the same for the Pretzel M&Ms. The results were fairly close to what I had hypothesized.

    In Math, Scott is working on developing a strategy to help him solve one-digit and two-digit multiplication problems. He has been exposed to the Bow-Tie method for two-digit, grouping and the array strategy for one-digit multiplication. He is doing very well at understanding and using the method to assist him in solving the multiplication problems. There have been improvements in his assessments by creating a strategy that works for him. After Scott has used the strategy over time, he will develop automaticity for solving the multiplication.
