2. Continuing the Conversation Cathy Fosnot

3. Minilessons for Addition and Subtraction

4. A warm–up mental math string • 92 + 39 • 99 + 32 • 139 + 94 • 134 + 99 • 199 + 34 • 129 + 97 • What strategy does this string support? • What big ideas underlie this strategy?

5. Quick Image Billboards (K-1)

6. Small Group Discussions • What strategies would you expect to see? • How would you represent them?

7. The Landscape of Learning

8. Let’s go to a classroom… Cdrom, minilesson folder (3rd), first page video clips 18, 19, and 20

9. The Landscape of Learning

10. Back to the classroom… second page video clips 3, 5, 6 #3 (3 on the top, 5 on the bottom) #5 (2 on the top, 6 on the bottom) #6 (is there another way the kids could trick me?)

11. Grade 2 • 43 + 10 • 43 + 20 • 43 + 19 • 68 + 23 • 39 + 54 • What’s the focus of the string? • A) compensation • B) splitting • C) jumps of tens and adjusting • D) moving to a landmark number

12. Grade 2 • 50 + 50 • 49 + 51 • 25 + 25 • 26 + 25 • 32 + 28 • 49 + 53 • What’s the focus of the string? • A) compensation • B) splitting • C) doubles +/- • D) moving to a landmark number

13. Grade 2-3 • 192-40 • 192-43 • 378-39 • 247 – 29 • 371 - 19 • What’s the focus of the string? • A) constant difference • B) splitting • C) doubles +/- • D) taking jumps of ten backwards and adjusting

14. Back to the classroom… • sixth page 192-40 • video clips 76, 77

15. Back to the classroom… • Seventh page • video clip 79

16. Grade 2-3 • 192-40 • 192-43 • 378-39 • 247 – 29 • 371 - 19 • Here’s the string again. • Would you continue with the 4th problem?

17. Revising in action How would you finish the string?

18. Michael’s revisions 192-40 192-43 378-39 378-40 371-19

19. Grade 2-3 146-12 272-14 283-275 (clip 83) Here’s the first part of a string that Michael does on another day.

20. Revising in action What conversation would you have?

22. Have fun with minilessons….
