Understanding Digits and Numbers

Created by
Susan Grigor
There are many children who very vague concepts about numbers. Although the work level is for Grade 3, you may find older students without these words or concepts. One of the students' performance tasks is to explain what they are doing. These worksheets are to give them the words to do that explaining for adding and subtracting. Each section is repeated. The first copy is to read and discuss. The second copy is for filling in the blanks. minuend "that amount to be diminished", subtrahend

Experience

I have had a wide range of teaching experience from non-readers to first year university writing.

Teaching style

I start with the curriculum and then try to fill in the gaps as they come up. And they do come up. I invented my colour code for teaching grammar because my students were a) terrified of grammar and b)had forgotten everything that they might have learned. I found that students who were having difficulties in math had vision or hearing problems, or reading/writing problems. A lot of the mystery comes from not recognizing the kind of difficulty.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My own students credit me with teaching them grammar, or getting them through school, or helping them to get work.

My own education history

The best bit of advice that I received was this: The student takes three times the amount of time that the teacher does to complete a task/test. Always take your own test to find out a) how much time to allow for the student to write and b) how much space the student needs to complete the answer.
