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

    Article Critique: The Reason behind Good People Doing Bad Things

    The main points discussed are the reason behind good people doing bad things, dehumanization, heroes and the effect of institutional power. The author was arguing that a person cannot quite literally be sweet, if they are surrounded by a sour environment. The strengths possessed in this article were that dehumanization is a very real notion as well as the fact that people change with the induction of anonymity. The weakness that is portrayed is that there are heroes around when in fact, yes they are around, but they are a quickly dying breed. My conclusion is that by uniting everyone and seeing each other as another human life regardless of being anonymous or not that maybe experiments like the Stanford experiment might not have needed to be done.…

    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…

    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…
