Questions with hints & answers
Questioning is the basis of all learning.
Overview
Introduction
This page includes 105 questions to review the use of arithmetic to solve problems with its operations and many algorithms. Each problem includes hints that suggest different solutions and ways to remember and apply them to different problems.
I have used these questions and similar ones in many different ways. One of the most successful to maximize individual learners achievement is to put one question on a card, randomize them, and play a board race game with a pair of learners or slighly larger group. A card is drawn and all players solve the problem and get to role a die if they solve the problem and accurately explain their solution. Depending on the learners and their responses an appropriate mini lesson can be provided as necessary. The hints on the cards provide suggestions and references for the type of mini lesson to provide.
Playing suggestions
- You might want to reduce the number of cards and add additional ones depending on the needs of the learners with which you are working.
- While, I start with a randomized deck. If learners have a difficult time with a question, I might insert it a few cards below in the unused deck to review it sooner than later.
- If learners, struggle with a type of problem, you can have them write a similar problem on a blank card to use later in the game or in later games.
- Can let learners create their own cards and decks to challenge each other. If you need to add a bit of control to the kinds of problems they create, require them to include hints and solutions. Can use front and back of card.
- The problems included in Type of addition & subtraction problems are to review the syntac used for the different types of addition and subtraction problems. As learners fluent with them and the basic facts, they should be able to solve them with an initial reading and maybe a quick review of the numbers and a key word or two.
