Math Institute Day 2
Today, both professors from Dalton State College presented multiple ways to teach addition and subtraction. It was interesting to see the different methods now used to teach these skills. The basic process is the same, but how you combine terms, rearrange, break numbers apart (decomposition), and even the thought processes differ from the way I was taught. I learned two really cool games to play to practice these skills. I can't wait to try them with my new students.
On a side note... I got to eat lunch at Cracker Barrel. It was yummy. I love their chicken and dumplings. I had lunch with Mrs. Pope (4th Grade Gilbert), Miss Eidem (5th Grade Gilbert), and Mr. Keith (4th Grade Rock Springs). Great food, great company!
