week 3

By Jeff
Reflection week 3

This week I have learned about the number operation and basic facts. Besides that we also have learned week 4 topic that is operations sense and computations. In number operation and basic facts, we have learned about how to develop meaning involving the operation addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. What we need to do is to illustrates the children using model and concrete things which to make them understand how to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.

We have learned the basic facts of addition which involved two, one-digit addends and their sum. The basic subtraction facts rely on the inverse relationship of addition and subtraction for their definition. Basic multiplication facts each involve two, one-digit factors and their product. While basic division facts rely on the inverse relationship of multiplication and division. We can see the relationship between each operation by these facts.

In operations sense and computation, it explains about mental computations and computational estimations. In this topic, we are given a mathematical problem and need to solve it using mental computations. After that we need to explain how we do it or what method do we use to solve it. The purpose of this mental calculation is to make the children to be able to find their perfect strategies and method to solve the problem. After that they need to reflect back what they have used to solve the problem.

This week tutorial task is to prepare an activity which can be used at school to make student learn mathematic while having fun. My group prepares an activity that called addition BINGO. The teacher draw a card which contains mathematical problem and the student as participant solve the question using mental computations then they tick the answer on the paper given. Whoever finishes ticking five numbers in a row or column will win the game.
