Thanks so much for this video!...Dear, Mrs. Yollis,<br /><br />Thanks so much for this video!!! Even though I have graduated college and know how to add subtract and everything, I don't really like math too much. However, I love mind puzzles. The puzzle I am working on at the moment is a word division puzzle. Instead of numbers they are letters and you have to figure out what number each letter is, which is kinda tricky. Anyway, in one of the problems I got the right solution, but couldn't figure out how they got that answer. I was subtracting 70423 from 64526 and couldn't figure out why there wasn't a 1 in front. I completely forgot about the squaring off, though I remembered the 0 became a 9. This video helped immensely, esp., since I tend to obsess over things when I can't remember something about it, like a name of song or lyrics to a song. Thanks a million!!! :)<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Laura W.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-75304323212488555512013-02-27T13:48:19.454-08:002013-02-27T13:48:19.454-08:00Wonderful!

I sure wish this technology had been around when I was that age. I had the hardest time with problems that had more than one zero. Whether it's reminding your students how to work out a problem as such, or teaching them how to do it, your video was very helpful and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing it. I'll keep this in mind for one day when I am a teacher. <br /><br />Have a great day!Caitlin Jayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401550221098132063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-65147401652960299292010-11-03T06:35:46.941-07:002010-11-03T06:35:46.941-07:00I loved you movie I like the panda.

Rather than borrowing we call it renaming, which fits beautifully with what you have shown.<br /><br />I actually don't teach the written algorithm. We tend to hold back on it as we work on the students solving many problems mentally first. Those that can be solved mentally. Now I am tempted to introduce it a little earlier to some of my students. You have explained it so well. <br /><br />Do you also have problems that you encourage students to solve mentally? <br /><br />I have been thinking of making some videos for our parents on how we solve problems mentally, as of course they didn't learn such ways. Your video inspires me to get going on it.
