Extractions: Ellen Dombrowski Field Exercise #2 This week I was given the opportunity at my placement to teach decimals and percentages to fourth graders. This proved to be a very enlightening experience for me; it opened my eyes to some of the basic challenges that teachers have to face on a daily basis. My co-op, Lisa Fink, told me last week that she would soon be starting a unit on percentages. Yesterday, she began this unit and found out that the kids had little or no exposure to decimals—a fairly fundamental step between fractions and percentages. My job, the next day, was to develop an activity that would help the kids to make that transition between fractions, decimals and percentages. This was much more difficult than I had originally thought it would be. Fostering Mathematical Power , to see what Dr. Baroody recommended for teaching kids decimals and percentages. It was interesting to see how this textbook was finally connecting to a real teaching experience, and I found the information to be rather helpful. That night as I tried to come up with an effective plan, I realized that there are many different dimensions that are connected to what is seemingly a simple concept to learn.

Extractions: Being able to handle numbers comfortably and competently is important to adults as parents, workers and community members. This competence relies upon having developed a kind of "number sense" about whole numbers, money, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Number sense includes calculation skills with numbers as well as a sense of number and operation and an ability to appropriately use estimation, mental math, computation, calculators or other tools. The learners, teachers and employers that were in the ANPN focus groups had lots of opinions about NUMBER. Learners ranked whole numbers, estimation, and fractions/decimals high as important math topics (3rd, 4th, and 6th); stakeholders concurred, ranking whole numbers fifth and estimation fourth. (Please see the appendices for more information.) Whole number computational skills are necessary but not sufficient. "If you don't know whole numbers, that is the basis that everything else is built upon... I mean how can you do any other type of thing if you can't do the simple whole number computations? ... Right there you're starting with one foot in the hole... " "I think whole number computation is most important... it's a basic fundamental thing. For example, there is a tree. If the root is weak, the tree's life will not be long. So we have to know whole number computation first, because it's basic, the root of the tree."
