Rosa's cat jumped 3 craft sticks. How much more did Sam's cat jump than Rosa's cat? During our summary, one student showed how he modeled the problem by building six tiles and three tiles. Another student added on, "3+3 = 6, so Sam's cat jumped three more." Someone added on, "Yeah, you match them and see that it's three more." MY FAVORITE OOPS I use this as a way to highlight a misconception that many students are currently having. Many students are adding the numbers together. 3 + 6 = 9 We talked about what the numbers mean. "What is the three about? What is the six about? So, what would the nine be about?" A student suggested, "It would be all the craft sticks put together." "Is that what the question asked us?" Students are being asked to make sense of story problems and think about what the questions are really about.
