Finding the Unknown Number with Child 30
A kindergartner finds out how many people exited a bus at a bus stop.
Focus on the Child videos are taken from one-on-one interviews with individual children. The interviews are designed to elicit evidence of children’s mathematical thinking. They are not teaching episodes or formal assessments.
Why is this important?
Direct modeling helps young children make sense of a problem situation, especially when it’s tricky!
