A big idea
• Classifying numbers helps us gain more
insight into those numbers.

Big ideas are meant to…
• Help you as a teacher see what you are
really going for.

The four sessions
• Session 1– A focus on number
• Session 2 – A focus on operations
• Session 3 – A focus on patterns and
relations and statistics and
probability
• Session 4 – A focus on shape and space

Let’s go back to ..
• The big idea about classifying in number.
©Marian Small, 2011
Or maybe
• Which number doesn’t belong? Vote.
• I will ask some of you to explain your
thinking.
A: 6
B: 18
C: 27

D: 90
Try this
• You are going to write a number the
“regular” way, e.g. 34 or 2 or 619, etc.

Try this
• You are going to write a number the
“regular” way, e.g. 34 or 2 or 619, etc.
• When you read the number, some of the
words you say are: hundred, three, fifty,
twenty, thousand, six
• What could the number be?
• Write some possibilities on the next screen.

Or try this (same big idea)
• You can use exactly 15 base ten blocks to
represent a number.
• What could the number be? How do you
know?
• List some possibilities on the next screen.

It is 25 short of 200? Draw on next slide.
©Marian Small, 2011
• 175 is 25 short of 200.

Fractions
©Marian Small, 2011
So how come…
• 2/3 of a set means the same thing as 2/3 of
a whole?
©Marian Small, 2011
So how come…
• 2/3 of a set means 2 ÷ 3
©Marian Small, 2011
So how come…
• 2/3 of a set means 2 ÷ 3
©Marian Small, 2011
So…
• Which is more: 2/3 or 3/5?
©Marian Small, 2011

When…
• When might you change 0.25 to a fraction
to multiply with it?
• Raise your hand to answer.
©Marian Small, 2011
When…
• When would you definitely leave it as a
decimal to multiply?
• Raise your hand to answer.
©Marian Small, 2011
Which way?
• We know that decimals can all be written as
fractions.
• When might it be useful to write fractions
as decimals?
• When might it not be?
©Marian Small, 2011

Comparing decimals
• Which is greater? How do you know?
• Is it 0.4 or 0.19?

I am hoping that :
• you will try out one of the questions we
discussed or, even better, your own question
to bring out a big idea in number.
• We’ll talk about the results next time.
