THE ANSWER!!! TIP: If the above example had a list of sums that ended with a 20
*(rather than 19), the list can be added just as the original problem was added so that
the student won't have to carry here either. See the sample below.
EXAMPLE:
5830
2967
836
+ 38567
--------
30000
15000
3000
180 Here the 80 + 20 = 100. Using
20 the old method of adding, the
------- '1' would have to be carried...
40000 here we just add from left to
8000 right again to get rid of that
100 problem...
100

TYING IT TOGETHER: Do math problems and test the kids for speed and
accuracy. I usually do a pretest without telling the kids why...having them
time the test. I keep this and give it again a couple/three weeks later once
they
they
do not understand what to do or why they should do it. Teachers should
spend more time explaining why we teach what we do, and why the topic
or approach or activity is important and
I have found that in many cases it is the praise or acknowledgement of good behavior or good work- the reward is physical evidence of that- the kids do not care about the value of the reward. In fact often the crummier the reward the more they enjoy it.
If you can
make something fun, exciting, happy, loving, or perhaps even a bit
frightening, students will learn more readily and the learning will
last much longer
