Susan,
Thank you for sharing your percent of the day strategy. I teach 5th grade and have seen positive results from number of the day talks. I am excited to try percent of the day…what a great idea and quick way to incorporate proportional reasoning on a daily basis!
I agree with so much of what others have shared, especially about the importance of giving time for students to deepen their conceptual understanding as they look for patterns and connections. Flexible thinking is so important. I still have students who really struggle with this. I am looking forward to learning more about how to help my students through this course!
