Which letter in your name is counted 99?
One of your classmates noticed that there is a relationship between the
difference of numbers in the first (or last) column and the multiples of the numbers which stays in one column.
Example in the case of JANE or JOHN, the difference between
numbers in the column J is 8 and multiples of 8 is always under the
same letter.
The ability to look for patterns and to generalize is an important ability to have and children should have ample opportunity to acquire it in
early mathematics.
Case Study 2 Make a square.
We discussed at length the choice of materials. In the case of shapes, misconceptions arise when we give children three-dimensional objects when they are learning about basic shapes such as squares, triangles, rectangles, which are all plane or two dimensional.
