Background

• Developed by the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project

• Based on research about how students learn and develop mathematical power

• Provides the broad mathematical background needed in the 21st century

You can expect to see…

• …a problem-solving approach based on everyday situations

• …an instructional approach that revisits concepts regularly

• …frequent practice of basic skills, often through games• …lessons based on activities and discussion, not a

textbook• …mathematical content that goes beyond basic

arithmetic

A Spiral Approach to Mathematics

• The program moves briskly and revisits key ideas and skills in slightly different contexts throughout the year.

• Multiple exposure to topics ensures solid comprehension.

• Strands are woven together-no strand is in danger of being left out.

More Spiraling…

• Mastery is developed over time. The Content by Strand Poster depicts the interwoven design.

• Homework problems will have familiar formats, but different levels of difficulty.

Everyday Mathematics Website

• Each student will receive login for home access. (available from your child’s teacher)

• Website contents: games and student reference book (SRB)

• http://www.everydaymathonline.com

Something to think about…

• “Even though it doesn’t look quite like what you did when you went to school, yes, this is really good, solid mathematics.”-2001

An alternative subtraction algorithm

In order to subtract, the top number must be larger than the bottom number 9 3 2

- 3 5 6 To make the top number in the ones column larger than the bottom number, borrow 1 ten. The top number become 12 and the top number in the tens column becomes 2.

To make the top number in the tens column larger than the bottom number, borrow 1 hundred. The top number in the tens column becomes 12 and the top number in the hundreds column becomes 8.

12 8

Now subtract column by column in any order

To find 67 x 53, think of 67 as 60 + 7 and 53 as 50 + 3. Then multiply each part of one sum by each part of the other, and add the results

Partial Quotients

A Division Algorithm

The Partial Quotients Algorithm uses a series of “at least, but less than” estimates of how many b’s in a. You might begin with multiples of 10 – they’re easiest.

12 158There are at least ten 12’s in 158 (10 x 12=120), but fewer than twenty. (20 x 12 = 240)

10 – 1st guess

- 12038

Subtract

There are more than three (3 x 12 = 36), but fewer than four (4 x 12 = 48). Record 3 as the next guess

3 – 2nd guess- 36

2 13

Sum of guesses

Subtract

Since 2 is less than 12, you can stop estimating. The final result is the sum of the guesses (10 + 3 = 13) plus what is left over (remainder of 2 )

Let’s try another one
