PLP
This week I decided to do more work on base ten blocks! I found it interesting in last week's live session. The worksheet I worked on was at the first grade level. I liked how the instructions were specific in that regrouping may be needed. I will attempt bigger numbers in the following weeks. I thought this week I would work on something different other than fractions! The one thing I wasn't sure on was the last problem, it resulted in a total of 61, and I wasn't sure if the way I did it was correct. I wrote 4 tens down, then crossed over the set, for the 5th one, to equal 5 tens(50). Not sure if I was supposed to do that, or just leave all of the 5 tens side by side. This was a lot of fun, and I am starting to realize that Math can be fun!

Kassandra, I really like this worksheet. I was wondering how you would do this, do you have to draw a 10 block? You used just a straight line, do 6 or 7 year olds understand that that represents 10? As long as they do then I think this is a really good tool for kids and I am finally starting to understand how 10 blocks work. At the beginning it seemed like we were just over complicating things!
ReplyDeleteI also wonder, when kids are doing these, would they sometimes start with drawing the ten ones and then realize it is ten cross it out and make it a line? Or do they sometimes end up with eleven ones (in the last example).
Great worksheet! I agree - at first, I wasn't sure about base 10 blocks, but now I see how much easier it is to explain to students. I think it is interesting how there is so much emphasis on learning place value, I don't remember that being such a big topic in school - but maybe I just don't have a strong memory! I would also be interested to know if you are supposed to make a cross over the set to make five (like tally marks) or if you just leave them all side by side. If you find out the answer, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great worksheet! I've really enjoyed the concept of 10 blocks and really see how useful they are. Instead of trying to teach students to memorize addition facts or count on their fingers or each number individually, the 10 block really do provide a great visual concept for the students. It also helps develop their meaning about the numbers and what they are actually doing. It also helps makes solving the problem faster ,because of visual aid of the 10 blocks. I don't remember doing something like this when I was in school but it definitely would've been useful.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in love with base ten blocks. They make things so much easier to conceptualize! I was never taught to decompose numbers, but now I find myself doing it to solve problems quickly. And what better than the base ten block to illustrate in real time how numbers group together? My son is in second grade, and in his homework I see him drawing lines to represent base ten blocks and circles to represent base one blocks (if that's what they're called?). It really does break the concept down.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and wonderful peer feedback everyone.
