Order: Order is involved with
many things because it structures
the way things are, such as the order of math problems, or order in the government.
Math: Order of operations
It involves knowledge of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, etc. and the knowledge of putting
them in order to get the correct answer
Math doesn't really have non-examples as
there is only really one way to do a problem.
but it would be helpful to continue providing
many examples to help students see what it
all involves. It can still be confusing for students
who are not familiar with math and they can still
get confused/caught up on some of the rules
multiplication and division comes first,
then comes addition and subtraction
do anything in the parenthesis first
PEMDAS
Please Excuse My Dear
Aunt Sally
15+5-10=
answer: 10
(10+5*2)-2=
answer: 18
Under generalize:
Students could try to just solve
everything in the parenthesis and
forget the order because they have to
worry about solving things first
A lot of it could just come from being confused
and not remembering
Over generalization:
not specifically about order of operations,
but students can hear the term that "multiplication
is just repeated addition."(because it doesn't allow
for half numbers and other fractions like that.)
which it is in some cases,
but would have to just be corrected at a later time
when they get into deeper math
(2*2+(4+5))-5=
answer: 8
Units I could teach
English: writing
Order of the way words go
in a sentence
Government
Government systems
The order of how cities and
governments are run
Military branches
Mathematics
Order of operations
Science
Different ranks of animals
Health
different kinds of health and moral codes
in later years of health
Students: Fourth Graders
Children should already know how to
add and subtract, maybe know how to do
basic multiplication and division
They are still growing and need encouragement
Girls would need to work in groups
and have the social connections they need
to help them learn
Lessons for boys should be kept quick and interactive:
I could use examples in math problems that would keep
them engaged
Concrete Operational level
