Developing Computational Fluency in Addition and Subtraction

Slide 5 of 8
Guidelines for Problem-Solving
- Help each other do your best thinking.
- Give help or a hint only if the learner wants it. (Would
you like help; a hint?)
- Help the learner discover solutions and mistakes. (How did you get
that? Show me how you figured it out.)
- If you disagree with someone's solution or method, ask him how he
got it. If you still disagree, tell him why. Politely explain your own thinking.
