A4; I highly recommend using touch points as a strategy for those who struggle with fact fluency #1stchat

valruckes - Moderator Mar 12 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 Some of my students need more work with place value. Using base 10 blocks and place value mats work well. #1stchat

KBaumgartner75 Mar 12 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 In my room we use Reflex for facts. I often pull a few to the table to meet if struggling with concept. Peers like to reteach #1stchat

A4: My Ss like to play Lobster Diver to understand numbers on a number line #1stchat

A4 Now that we are working on number scrolls my students are really beginning to see the connection with place value & large #s. #1stchat

lekadegroot - Moderator Mar 12 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4 many ss using fingers. They are not making connections between number talks (pictures) to written facts (numbers). Suggestions? #1stchat

StephSConnors Mar 12 @ 8:43 PM EDT

#1stchat @lekadegroot Used to do whole group work, but had so many not engaged. Changed to small group work with minilesson. That helps,

I always think of Ss using fingers as visual Learners - they need to 'see' the math. #1stchat

valruckes - Moderator Mar 12 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@lekadegroot Tools like ten frames & dice help with that. Strategies like "counting on" and "near tens" help too. #1stchat

#1stchat A4 I love using Kim Sutton's random number CD (on iPod shuffle). Ss hear #s but use it to build fluency in different ways.
