Clip 10/11: Adding and Subtracting with Money Lesson Part 2E

Overview

In the third math center, Katy works at a small table with four students on word problems. They record their thinking on wipe-erase sheets as well as on the table itself as she asks them to explain their thinking. Katy speaks with the students about the models they can use to solve a two-step problem.

Teacher Commentary

But then when it comes to them doing it on notebook paper, they have a hard time because it's not as easy to erase. I've been reflecting on that a lot. They can show me on a whiteboard. But then when it comes to them sitting down to do it on, like, notebook paper, it’s more difficult.
