Math Concept: Sums and Reasoning Teaching Strategies: Five Stages of Learning: Accounting for knowledge, understanding, skill proficiency, applications, and retention
Five Stages Knowledge What s the mathematical term for: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +... + n? arithmetic series What s the formula for finding the sum? n ( n + 1) 2
Five Stages Understanding For any sum of the form: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 +... + n? Why does the formula work? Sum = n ( n + 1) 2
Five Stages Understanding Let s look deeper. 1 + 2 + 3 +... + 18 + 19 + 20 21 = (n+1) the sum of each pair 10 = n 2 = the number of pairs n ( n + 1) 2
Five Stages Understanding 1 + 2 + 3 +... + 18 + 19 + 20 n ( n + 1) 2 20 ( 21) 2 = 10 21 = 210
Five Stages Proficiency Find the following sum: 1 + 2 + 3 +... + 200 200 201 / 2 = 100 201 = 20,100
Five Stages Proficiency Peer Problem Solving Challenge Make 2 summation problems of the form 1 + 2 + 3 +... + n On separate paper, solve the two problems you made Exchange problems with a partner and solve your partner s problems Swap back and evaluate each other s work
Five Stages Application If ten people are in a room, how many handshakes would take place if each person shook hands with every other person exactly once? 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9
Connecting the Handshake Problem to Geometry 1 2 10 3 9 4 8 5 7 6
Connecting the Handshake Problem to Geometry 1 2 Sides + Diagonals 9 1 0 3 4 n + n(n 3) 8 5 2 7 6
n + n(n 3) 2 = 2n + n(n 3) 2 2 = n 2 n 2
Connecting the Handshake Problem to Geometry 1+2+3 + + (n 1) + n (n 1)n 2 = n2 n 2
