101: Math Problem Types for Addition & Subtraction
I first learned about Problem Types with Cognitively Guided Instruction in the book Children's Mathematics. The group of researchers studied children and found that when given open ended questions children move through a progression of understanding… when given no explicit instruction. 🤯
It blows teachers minds to think that children can develop understanding with no explicit instruction. However, when we think about how children learn it actually makes sense.
