Hi Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteI love the book, Chester's Way, and also thought about using it. I really enjoyed reading your word problems to correlate with the book.
1. This was a Join:Change Unknown word problem; we were working to find x.
2. Part-Part-Whole: Whole Unknown. We were given the amount of watermelon seeds that Wilson swallowed and spit out. We were asked how many there were to begin with.
3. Compare Problems: Difference Unknown. We were asked to find how many more bandaids Lily was wearing on Tuesday than on Monday, given the amount of bandaids on each day.
4. Separate: Change Unknown. We were given the result (15) and one piece of the number sentence (6) but asked to find the other piece.
Great work, Lindsey!
Hey!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love Chester and Kevin Henkes books!
For the first one we have the same thing.
On the second one I recorded it as separate initial unknown because I did not record the number that you started with. However, you explanation makes sense to me and I am wondering if the problems can be classified as more than one? I told you I was not the best at this!
Number 3 we have the same thing.
Number 4 I recorded join initial unknown. I viewed it as ___ + 6 =15. So you do not know the starting point, but again I agree with your reasoning as well and I am wondering if it could be both?
Do you think it can only be one or the other? I am honestly not sure?

I see why you chose what you did and I also had a hard time wrapping my head around the different types of problems. I think you may be correct.
