ESSAY. Write your answer in the space provided or on a separate sheet of paper.

21) Present and discuss two reasons for using contextual problems to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Helps to practice reasoning skills Relates to real world problems, for instance I use my math skills often for tipping service workers.

22) How do the commutative and associative properties relate to children's understanding of the basic facts?

If a student were to be presented with an equation, such as 1+2=3, then is asked to solve 2+1=… The answer is still 3, you just switched the terms around. It helps in order to scaffold to more advanced facts if they know the basics....
