MTH 222 Student-led Lesson

Lesson #5
Partial Sums Algorithm for Multi-digit Numbers (aka Combining Same Units Invented
Algorithm)

Summary of Lesson Presentation:

We are going to take problem #1 and walk through how to solve it step by step with the class. We will
write it out on the board using the strategy shown below. We will then ask a series of questions to make
sure they have a good understanding of the strategy and how we got the numbers that we did. Then we
will ask each table to solve one of the problems below and write their solution on the board using this
method. They will then be asked to share with the class on how they solved the problem. Two of the
groups will be asked to show their direct modeling skills with their strategy using base-10 materials.
Conclude with the take home handout for more practice at home.
