Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
The Herrington Think Board is one way to organise and solve problems with students that also focuses on the language of mathematics. A process for understanding mathematics by Sue Gunningham (PDF 422.58KB) . -For example, the teacher can supply the story “Mary had five oranges, Tom took two away, how many oranges does Mary have left?” -Students can then draw a picture of the story, use objects such as counters or play dough to create and work out the problem, then record a number sentence that matches the story. -To focus on the language, provide students with the number sentence and ask them to write a story to match. https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/student-assessment/smart-teaching-strategies/numeracy/number-and-algebra/addition-and-subtraction/S1-addition-and-subtraction
