Monday: Quiz 1

Today we took our first quiz on the problem types from the framework for addition and subtraction word problems. I feel okay about the add/sub framework, but I think I need to spend more time reviewing and practicing with it. I feel strong enough to move on to multiplication and division word problems; which we did today! I understood it much easier than the first framework. My guess is that now I have my brain thinking in a more abstract way about mathematics and so it was easier to digest. I kind of feel like a nerd because I am so excited about understanding these frameworks and why children think the way they do about a problem.

Success : )
