  1. A Story of Units Progression of Algorithms

  2. Solve using strategies other than the standard algorithms. 298 + 357 656 – 298 4527 + 3219 $10 - $3.68 5 x 248 1240 ÷ 5 25 x 34 850 ÷ 25 6 x 24 4281 ÷ 3

  3. Session Objectives • Examine and practice the algorithms employed in A Story of Units. • Understand the coherence within and across grades in order to promote conceptual understanding.

  4. AGENDA Introduction to the Algorithms Addition and Multiplication Subtraction and Division

  5. What is an algorithm? An algorithm is a systematic step by step procedure to solve a class of problems. Parker and Baldridge, Elementary Mathematics for Teachers, pg. 57

  6. Why do we want standard algorithms? If no simplification is obvious within a problem, we want students to have an easily accessible tool they can use efficiently. Why? So that the higher level relationships within a problem can be addressed.

  7. The potatoes Beth bought weighed 3 kilograms 420 grams. Her onions weighed 1,050 grams less than the potatoes. How much did the potatoes and onions weigh together?

  8. Why a system of algorithms? Each algorithm must provide a coherent link to the subsequent algorithm. Addition sets the foundation for subtraction and multiplication. All three set the foundation for the division algorithm. Why is the division algorithm an essential culminating goal of the Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 5 curriculum?

  9. Grade 7.NS.2(d) Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division…Grade 8.NS.1 Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Rational Number System  Counting Numbers  The Real Number System  Fractions Complex Numbers  Grade: K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 High School

  42. A Progression of Algorithms • What did you notice about the sequence of algorithms? • In what ways will students benefit from this sequence? • How does it change or develop your understanding of the algorithms?

  43. Key Points • All algorithms involve the manipulation of units. • Each algorithm builds towards the next, culminating in the long division algorithm. • The long division algorithm is foundational to an understanding of the real number system and advanced mathematics.
