Investigations: Title
I Lesson
10 Minute Math, Quick Images
Connie Ford, Title 1
Math Specialist at Rigler Elementary, works with a group of third
grade students using Quick Images. Quick Images helps students focus
on:
- meaningful ways to
organize and analyze visual images
- developing concepts
about spatial relationships
- describing patterns
and shapes using geometric vocabulary and number relationships
The task is to draw the Dot Pattern shown in the Quick Image into
a student journal and then figure out how many dots are shown. Students
may change their answers each time the Quick Image is displayed
on the overhead.Students then communicate their thinking in their
journal and with the other students in the group.
In Number Strings, session
6 from Coins, Coupons, and Combinations, Connie introduces the activity
"Strategies for Combining Two Numbers." Students will
then build on strategies from this activity to do number strings,
combining three or more single-digit numbers.
