Description

Overview:
This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Write as many equations for each picture as you can. Use the numbers 4, 1, and 5. Here are some equations for this picture. 4+1=5 \hskip4em 5 = 4+1 5-1...

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.B.3: Strong (2)

I think they could have increase difficulty by using numbers greater than 10. First grade standards go through to 20. By increasing difficulty gradually, they beter help conceptual and cognitive understanding.

Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)

They should integrate grouping or partners to explore understanding between students. Mathematics is also something that can be used to help communication skills. Those mathematical thought processes are also developed more intensely through peer discussions.

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Superior (3)

This is explained very well and is thoughtful in delivery. The explanation of the purpose is very detailed and also gives reasoning of what and why it is important. Materials are simple becuase it is only worksheet. However, the sue fo unifix cubes or other manipulatives would be a great assessment tool so the teacher could visually see the studdents thought processes.

Quality of Assessments: Limited (1)

While there is not a physical assessment given, it does mention observing students work and using that as an evaluation. I wish it would give a rubric for teacher to assess and evaluate by.

Quality of Technological Interactivity: Not Applicable (N/A)

There is no technological additive as a component. They simply use worksheets which I think isn't as exciting as implementing technology.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Strong (2)

It offers an efficient number of exercises but does not go above by giving extra problems or an evaluation problem set. I wish it would go more into detail than simply four problems. The problems are great but could be increased in not only difficulty but sheer number.

Opportunities for Deeper Learning: Superior (3)

I think thatthey should give the children opportunities to create word problems or even have two more problems where they use word problems. They can have stusents create equations after reading and analysis.
