Question :A teacher is planning a lesson on adding and
subtracting positive and negative integers. The teacher will use red and black chips as a manipulative and allow students to develop patterns for understanding the addition and subtraction problems. The following NCTM standard is
associated with the lesson: "Represent the idea of a variable
as an unknown quantity using a letter or a symbol."
How do you rate the activity and alignment to the standard?
Correct answer:The activity is effective at showing students
how to add and subtract integers but the standard is not aligned.

rectangles. The following standard is associated with the
lesson:
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects.How should the teacher rate the activity and alignment to the standard?
Correct answer:The activity is effective at showing students
how to find the area of rectangles, but the standard is not aligned.
Question :Which type of understanding: Relational or Instrumental?Giving your students a problem and asking them to explain how they arrived at the solution

Question :Relational or Instrumental: Having students compete to see who can complete the most questions Correct answer:Instrumental: Competition and game activities are fun and can help learning, but make sure that it goes beyond demonstrating instrumental understanding.
Question :Relational or Instrumental: Asking students "Was there something in the problem that reminded you of another problem you have done?"
Correct answer:Relational. This question is a great way to
help students make connections either to other things they've learned in class or things they've experienced outside of class.
Question :Relational or Instrumental: Having your students memorize the multiplication table to be able to answer questions faster.
Correct answer:Instrumental. This can be a helpful and even

Question :Even though constructivism and sociocultural
theory are two different learning theories, they can both be used simultaneously in teaching mathematics.Imagine that you are teaching your students about fractions.You instruct them to explain how to divide five brownies between three friends.Which two scenarios illustrate these two theories working together?
Correct answer:Students are working in groups of three and
are figuring out how to solve this problem using some of the concepts about fractions that they have already learned. They must then write their answer using fractions and share it with the class.
