Teaching Strategies for Math Instruction

The video tutorial demonstrates explicit, systematic instruction in teaching one-digit addition. The teacher begins by preparing students for the lesson, recalling previous methods like ten frames and counters. The lesson progresses with the teacher modeling addition using dots, guiding students through problems, and encouraging neatness in their work. Students then engage in guided practice with partners, followed by independent practice to reinforce learning. The teacher provides feedback and plans for ongoing practice to ensure concept mastery.

What is the first step in explicit, systematic instruction?

• Testing students' prior knowledge

• Reviewing previous lessons

• Readying students for the lesson

• Assigning homework

What method will students use to add one-digit numbers in this lesson?

• Using a calculator

• Using counters

• Using ten frames

• Drawing pictures

What tool did students use in the past to help with addition?

• Ten frames

• Abacus

• Flashcards

• Number line

How many dots does the teacher draw to represent the number two?

• Three

• Four

• Two

• One

How many dots does the teacher draw to represent the number four?

• Two

• Five

• Three

• Four

Why does the teacher emphasize neatness when drawing dots?

• To ensure accuracy in counting

• To save paper

• To impress the teacher

• To make the drawing look pretty

What is the final step in solving the problem using dots?

• Drawing more dots

• Erasing mistakes

• Asking a friend for help

• Counting all the dots

What is the sum of 2+4 as demonstrated by the teacher?

• Five

• Eight

• Six

• Seven

When might students want to draw a picture to help them add?

• When they know the answer immediately

• When they are unsure of the answer

• When they have a calculator

• When they are bored

What does the teacher do after modeling the problem-solving process?

• Ends the lesson

• Gives a quiz

• Assigns homework

• Leads students through more problems
