Aims of Numeracy
Professional Learning
• Promote the belief that all students have learned
some mathematics through their lived experiences in
the world and that the math classroom is one where
students bring that thinking to their work.
• Build teachers’ expertise at setting classroom
conditions where students can move from their
informal math understandings to generalizations and
formal representations of their mathematical thinking.
• Assist educators working with teachers of students in
the junior division to implement student-focused
instructional methods to improve student achievement
– as referenced in the Number Sense and
Numeration, Grades 4 to 6.
3
Aims continued
• Have teachers experience mathematical problem
solving as a model of what effective math instruction
entails by:
– collectively solving problems relevant to students’
lives that reflect the expectations in the Ontario
mathematics curriculum;
– viewing and discussing the thinking and strategies
in the solutions;
– sorting and classifying the responses to a problem
to provide a visual image of the range of
experience and understanding of the mathematics;
and
– analysing the visual continuum of thinking to
determine starting points for instruction.
4
Learning Goals of the Module
During these session, participants will:
• develop an understanding of the conceptual models
of whole and decimal numbers;
• explore, through problem solving, conceptual and
algorithmic models of whole and decimal number
addition and subtraction;
• analyse and discuss the role of student-generated
strategies and standard algorithms in the teaching of
addition and subtraction with whole and decimal
numbers; and
• Identify, reflect, and connect strategies that
contribute to an effective mathematics classroom.

Warm Up – Defining an
“Algorithm”
Algorithms:
• are a structured series of
procedures that can be used
across problems regardless
of the numbers;
• promote accuracy; and
• are efficient.
Is this an addition algorithm?

1. What strategies do
you use to add and
subtract whole
numbers mentally?
257 + 39
257 − 39
2. What strategies do
you use to add and
subtract decimal

Mental Math for Addition
– Problem #4
How and why do they work?
Adding On
Compensation
Constant Sum
136 + 143
236 + 297
153 + 598
136 + 100 = 236
236 + 40 = 276
276 + 3 = 279
236 + 300 = 536
536 – 3 = 533
Take 2 from 153
and add 2 to 598
151 + 600 = 751
So,
153 + 598 = 751

287 – 40 = 247
247 – 6 = 241
547 – 300 = 247
247 + 4 = 251
So

598 – 153
Add 7 to 153 to
make it 160.
So, add 7 to 598.
605 – 160 = 445
Check:
153 + 445 = 598
