Emilia's familiarity to the foundational concepts of grouping and sharing was reinforced and she was shown examples of how creating equal groups relates to multiplication. I reinforced the idea of repeated addition, such as grouping sets of two or three to understand concepts like 2+2+2=6. Division is introduced to share objects equally among groups. An example would be to divide ten apples among five kids to understand that each child gets 2 apples - or the one used today was to share a pizza pie divided into quarters so that each of two children can receive two slices each. Visual aids, manipulatives, story problems, and real-world scenarios were used to reinforce these concepts. Emilia received additional practice to add and subtract and learn about the relationship between addition and subtraction using fact families. Emilia continues to receive encouragement to apply mental math strategies and simple problems for contextual understanding. For the problem, '8+5,' Emilia can choose to use a number line to start at 8 and move 5 spaces to reach 13. For '14-6,' she may use counters, starting at 14 and removing 6 to see the remainder. These activities and strategy options engage her and build familiarity with numbers and their relationships.
