Mathematical Problem-Solving
“What students already know about the content is one of the strongest indicators of how well they will learn new information relative to the content” ~Robert J. Marzano
CPA- Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract
• Sequence of instruction• “Teach less, learn more” ~Singapore Math
What shall I teach
tomorrow?
What shall the students
learn tomorrow?
Math Stories
• A few examples of guiding questions:– Can you name what you see in this picture?– Are there some things we can count one-by-one?
By 2’s?– What is largest? Smallest?– How many in all? What are “part” of them doing?– Which one is first? Second, etc?– Can you make a math story from this picture?

Build relational understanding,
which is foundational for building mental
math skills
Teaching Number Bonds
• How numbers go together
Teaching Number Bonds
• Create addition stories (what about those pictures you used for math stories?)
• Create subtraction stories
Teaching Number Bonds
• Use sentence frames
• Ex: There are a total of _____ lizards. ____ of the
lizards are _______ and ____ of the lizards are _______.
______ and ______ make ______
