Teaching Cue Words: A Conceptual Analysis
One aspect of this chart that really stood out for me was the increase and decrease section for problem solving. I found it really interesting that the chart calls for a decrease in using cue words. I remember being taught cue words for solving math problems all the way through high school. I also have been told that I should teach cue words for math problems. However, after reading this chapter and watching the video for this week I see a lot more support for not teaching cue words. I have always been skeptical about teaching cue words because it is not 100 percent accurate and it really doesn't develop understanding. Students who simply know the cue words cannot easily transfer their understanding to other problems. Teaching for understanding

    Alejandra's Iep Strategy

    This is the first time that the students are learning this strategy. They do not have any background information to this intervention. The reason to choose this intervention was the 5th grades not having a fixed curriculum and the SBI being evidence based strategy to teach word problems. The planning of the segment started with around Alejandra’s strengths in math – her ability to solve single and double-digit addition problems with 85 % accuracy. She also enjoys working on math as mentioned in her IEP and her teacher feedback. Alejandra is hard working student. She tries her best on academic and non-academic tasks in class (as per IEP PLAAFP). As per her current IEP (in math), Alejandra academic needs include her increasing her ability to solve math word problems by deciding the correct operations. Further, the lesson goals and objectives are scaffolded from small easy steps to complex steps for solving word problems. Strategies also include finding small parts or whole /large parts, use of visuals and providing explicit instructional strategy for decoding word problems. I will visually model the use of the Schema Based Intervention (SBI) concept diagram/ for Alejandra, as she is a visual learner. Additionally manipulatives are used to help Alejandra better understand the math concept conceptually. The lesson…

    Indirect Instruction: A Case Study

    The community factor I chose to focus on is the high school and college level graduation rate for Carl Junction, Missouri. 93.4% of the population of Carl Junction, Missouri are high school graduates or higher and 28.8% have a bachelor degree or higher. The statistics also reveal that the poverty level in Carl Junction, Missouri is relatively low, therefore; I would have to assume most individuals are employed. Because of these statistics it would appear that the community is overwhelmingly focused on graduation and higher education and are career/job minded. In order to prepare future graduates for college and the workforce, I feel as though Indirect Instruction would be an appropriate choice. Indirect Instruction makes the student an active learner getting them involved in hands-on type activities and builds on their natural curiosity. This type of approach will foster creativity and build problem solving skills which will be advantageous for their future.…

    Amanda Lang's Argument Essay: From Tradition To Change

    We all did the multiplication facts and vocabulary flashcards. We memorized and repeated the answers that the teachers were asking for because that is how we learn. That is how we have learned for generations. Recently some educators, students, and parents have called into question this method of “rote learning” and its effectiveness. They are claiming that memorization, and methods like it, are no longer effective for the average student today. They are calling for a new kind of learning that challenges students to use their mind to go past memorization and challenge them to use problem solving skills like those that students will more than likely need in the real world. There are compelling arguments from both sides of this controversial topic.…

    Multi-Tiered Support System Plan

    They don’t need to hide behind a calculator. Little by little, they are realizing that they can solve problems using their own thoughts. By requiring them to explain their thinking, they are taking ownership in their ideas, allowing for greater retention. When considering the specific learning goals for this unit, students were able to identify that “10” was incorrect because it was a number less than the starting value. They recognized that they needed to add the tip to get the final amount. This was a big success, as many students struggle to connect the calculations with the context. In the video, students were also able to connect a percent to a ratio, a decimal, and a fraction. Students at all levels have a difficult time seeing that a fraction, decimal and percent are all different representations of the same value. When given a skill check quiz focusing on multi-step percent problems, 24 of the 27 students in this class were proficient or higher, showing that they can find a percent and apply it to a given…

    Cognition and Instruction

    Functional Fixedness: This term refers to the tendency to view problems only in their customary manner. Functional fixedness prevents people from fully seeing all of the different options that might be available to find a solution. Assumptions: When dealing with a problem, people often make assumptions about the constraints and obstacles that prevent certain solutions. Mental Set: Another common problem-solving obstacle is known as a mental set, which is the tendency people have to only use solutions that have worked in the past rather than looking for alternative ideas. A mental set can often work as a heuristic, making it a useful problem-solving tool. However, mental sets can also lead to inflexibility, making it more difficult to find effective solutions.…
