Help Dr. Math
Dr. Math has been really busy this year helping students understand math. Since you have been working with many kinds of addition and subtraction problems this year, he could use your help in answering some of these letters. These students need help in understanding so be sure to explain clearly and use drawings and equations to support your explanations. You may wish to choose your own pseudonym (Dr. Math is not a real name!).
Dear Dr. Math,
I have a problem I don’t know how to solve. I have been making a photo album of my summer vacation. I put 78 pictures in my album. I left the room to get a snack and I thought I saw my little sister go into my room. When I returned to my room, there were 92 photos in my album! How can I find out how many photos my sister put in the book? Sincerely, Stuck in Statesboro
Dear Dr. Math,
Please help me! My aunt is making a gum wrapper chain to decorate her basement. She will pay me a penny for each gum wrapper. I cleaned up my room and found 35 gum wrappers. Then I snuck into my brother’s room and found 48 gum wrappers. Then I looked in my dad’s car and found 22 more gum wrappers. How can I figure out how many pennies my aunt should give me? Sincerely, All gummed up in Greensboro
Dear Dr. Math,
I need help to solve a mystery! My friend and I were baking muffins for a bake sale. We had made 48 muffins. While more muffins were baking in the oven, my friend and I took a break and went outside. When we came back inside there were 17 empty muffin liners. Somebody ate them while we were out. Then we took the 24 muffins out of the oven that were baking. How many muffins do we have now? Sincerely, Mystified in Monroe
Operations and Algebraic Thinking Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction. 2.OA.1 Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve on-and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing with unknowns in all positions e.g. by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Students will need to understand the problem types: Result Unknown Change Unknown Start Unknown

Turn and Talk • How might these ideas challenge
teachers in your district or school?
• How can we move from “answer getting” to “learning mathematics”?
• What evidence do you have that teachers might not know the difference?
Problem: Mile wide –inch deep
Cause: Too little time per concept
Cure: More time per topic
“LESS TOPICS”
Why do students have to do
math problems?
a. To get answers because Homeland
Security needs them, pronto.
b. I had to, why shouldn’t they?
c. So they will listen in class.
d. To learn mathematics.
To Learn Mathematics
• Answers are part of the process, they are
not the product.
• The product is the student’s
mathematical knowledge and know-how.
• The ‘correctness’ of answers is also part
of the process. Yes, an important part.
“Answer Getting vs.
Learning Mathematics”
United States:
• “How can I teach my kids to get the
answer to this problem?”
Japan: • “How can I use this problem to
teach the mathematics of this unit?”

Area and Perimeter
• What rectangles can be made with a
perimeter of 30 units? Which rectangle
gives you the greatest area? How do
you know?
• What do you notice about the
relationship between area and length of
the sides?
Instructions
• Discuss the following at your table
– What thinking and learning occurred as
you completed the task?
– Would this task be considered “Deep
Mathematics”? Why or why not?
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

4th grade students in reform math classes solved it with no problem. Sixth graders in traditional classes responded that they hadn’t been taught that yet.

Students are shown this number.
Teacher points to the 6 and says,
“Can you show me this many?”

By third grade nearly half the

Lesson Comparison United States and Japan
The emphasis on skill acquisition is evident in the steps most common in U.S. classrooms
The emphasis on understanding is evident in the steps of a typical Japanese lesson
•Teacher instructs students in concept or skill •Teacher solves example problems with class •Students practice on their own while teacher assists individual students
•Teacher poses a thought provoking problem •Students and teachers explore the problem •Various students present ideas or solutions to the class •Teacher summarizes the class solutions •Students solve similar problems
