DOTS - SIMPLIFY

1. Quantity recognition
a. dots 1-100, 0 last

2. Equations--3 sets per day (two weeks each) stat once 1-20 complete
a. add?2 step
b. Sub ?2 step
c. multi?2 step
d. div?2 step
e. 3 numbered, same equations (all add, all sub,...)
f. 3 numbered mixed equations (multi/div, add/sub)
g. 4 numbered mixed equations

3. Problem solving
a. sequences
Arithmetic: 2,4,6,8,10... 5,10,15,20,25,... 10,9,8,7,6....
Geometric: 1,2,4,16,32,64... 80,40,20,10,5 81,27,9,3,1
b. greater than/less than---using dot cards
c. equalities/inequalities
(used to teach math symbols) + - x ? = =
using dot cards, 3 per set same equations
2+4 n= 2+5 4+5=3+6 25+4 n=25+9

d. number personality (?)
Sets where all equations are based on one number?1, 12, 60, 64,
36, prime numbers, square numbers?4, 9, 16, 25, 36, triangle
numbers?3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36

e. fractions
use dots? ?one tenth of ten equals one?
1/10 of 10 = 1
1/3 of 3 = 3 1/3 of 6=9 1/3 of 9= 3

f. simple algebra
use dots and ?y? card
5+y =7 dot 5 + y = dot 7
what does y stand for??in this equation y stands for 2
Sets?12+y=24, 2+y=10, 60+y= 100........

4. Numeral Recognition
a. introduce standard numerals 1, 2, 3? (two sets of 5), add 3 new
per day, subtract 3 old per day
b. after 1-20 introduced use greater than/less than,
equalities/inequalities with dots to compare
12 > dot9 dot6 <> dot4 = 4

5. Equations with numbers

Equations--3 sets per day
(two weeks each) using numeral cards/strips not dots
a. add? 2 step
b. Sub ? 2 step
c. multi? 2 step
d. div? 2 step
e. 3 numbered, same equations
f. 3 numbered mixed equations (multi/div, add/sub)
g. 4 numbered mixed equations

Problem solving
a. sequences
Arithmetic: 2,4,6,8,10... 5,10,15,20,25,... 10,9,8,7,6....
Geometric: 1,2,4,16,32,64... 80,40,20,10,5 81,27,9,3,1
b. greater than/less than
c. equalities/inequalities
d. number personality
e. fractions--Fractions written with numbers
?one tenth of ten equals one?
1/10 of 10 = 1 1/3 of 3 = 1 1/3 of 6=2

f. simple algebra---- Written numerals and ?y? card
5+y =7
what does y stand for??in this equation y stands for 2

Sets? 12+y=24, 2+y=10, 60+y= 100........
