Don't Cheat! Treat Yourself to NT! Online

 

     “Don’t cheat! Treat yourself to NT”

     

Welcome back due to different circumstances we had to do NT online which is okay. You would be surprised at how many comments we received from just doing NT online. As you come in be sure to grab all of your essentials because this tea on ice is about to be good. Don’t forget to add your strawberry, lemon, and of course I added one more fruit you can choose from, which is peach. Be sure to get comfortable because this is definitely about to be a good tea session. One more thing before we get started there will be no defending going on which I am sad about but it’s okay. As always students know to start with their fist to their heart because they are ready to start. Everyone agreed on 24, but before I list a couple of Pre-Service teacher ideas, think of a way you would see 24: 

• Student One: For the second one I saw 24. I saw 10 first, then I counted 2,4,6,8 for the second box, and lastly I saw 3 on top & 3 on bottom and knew that it was 6. All the numbers added together is 24

• Student Two: For the second number talk I saw 3 tens frames with one frame missing. 4 and another missing 2 making it 30-6, giving me 24.

• Student Three-For the second number talk I saw 24. I counted 3 rows by 5 then added 6 plus the remaining 3 dots. so 3x5=15 + 6 + 3 = 24

Did you think of any of the ways that were listed? If not comment below on how you saw 24. There are more ways Pre-Service teachers saw 24 below. Compare some of your answers if you thought of some of the same answers.

Next, think about how you would see 16 on four ten frames. Be sure to comment below on how you would have seen it. I know that this is a lot of good tea but when we spill tea best believe we don’t half step doing it. As always everyone agreed on 16 to be their answer, listed below is a couple of Pre- Service teachers answers:

• Student One: The first number talk I saw 16. I saw the two 5 frames to make 10. Then I counted 3 groups of two. This allowed me to see 16 dots all together.

• Student Two: For the first set of tens frames displayed on the screen, I saw 16. This was represented by two sets of five on two different frames. Then, I saw three sets of twos on another frame; therefore, I multiplied 3x2 and got the product of 6. Finally, I calculated the sum of my visuals and was left with 10+6=16.

• Student Three: For the first three sets of ten frames that you showed, I saw 16. For the two sets of ten frames, I saw that there is one row of 5, there for 5x2=10. Then in the third tens frame, I counted by 2s which equals 6 (2x3). Then I added my two answers together 10+6 to get my final answer, 16.

                                        

After reading some of the ways Pre-Service teachers saw 16, did you think to find 16 the same way? If not let us know in the comment, also be sure to read more comments below on ways Pre-Service teachers saw 16. I know your cup is almost empty but save the best for last because, I'm counting on you to comment on your great ideas below. Before you take a sip to moisturize your throat and before we end our session, think of many ways you could see 20 on ten frames. And before you have the mindset of 20 on two ten frames think of 20 on multiple ten frames. I know that was a lot to ask for but just know your comment means the most to us as well. Here are a couple of Pre-Service teachers' ideas, once I list them, please proceed to the comment and read more. Our students have really great ideas on how they say 20.

• Student One: Hey! So for the first number talk, I saw the number 16. I counted as 5 and 5 rows filled, then 6 dots in the next column. The next number talk i saw the number 20. I counted 5 and 5 on the first 2 rows, then in I added 2+2+2+2+2 to get 20.

• Student Two: For the second number talk I saw the number 20. I saw two rows of five going horizontally in the first frame. And then under that I saw three rows of 2 going vertically. Then in another frame I saw two rows of two. I knew 5x2=10 and 2x3=6 and 2x2=4. I added each of those answers up 10+6+4 and got a total of 20.

                                          

Now that we have spilled so much good tea today, I'm pretty sure your cup is empty. I hope you have enjoyed this session, gained more knowledge about NT, and of course I hope you leave us some comments below. Our students have really great ideas on how they saw 24,16, and 20 in the comment be sure to check them out. Next week we will have something new for you and I can’t wait to spill the “Tea” with you! I hope you have a great rest of your day and I'll be patiently waiting to see you again next week!
