After reading last issue’s “Dialogue” section, I began to look at the way I teach number sentences in my Grade 2/3 class and to focus more diligently on what the manipulation of the numerals means to the children. I have tried substituting letters for the numerals to see if they are able to make the connections, and, believe it or not, most of them are! Hopefully, by the time they get to Indy’s classes at Mount Royal, manipulation of variables won’t be an issue for them!
