Those things are: a way to present the problem, materials for students to use in problem solving, and a place for students to do their problem solving. In this post, I will share how I accomplish these things in my classroom. Most of the ideas I use came from my inclusion coteacher. They worked so well for us that I have continued them into my own first grade classroom. I will show you the way I accomplish these things, and you can take those ideas and adapt them as needed.<br />
<div>
Presenting the problem is probably the easiest part of the prep work, as most likely you will use things you have handy in your classroom. </div>
<div>
I typically present a problem orally and in one of two visual ways. I show students the problem on either the SMART board or on chart paper. I am lucky enough to have a SMART board, but you might substitute for a white board, paper and a document camera, etc. </div>
<div>

<i>-Have my students ever worked a problem like what I am about to present? </i><br />
<i>-How do I want to incorporate visual information into share time? </i><br />
<i>-How successful do I think my students will be with this particular problem? </i><br />
I like to use chart paper if I anticipate I might have some really great strategies to record on the chart paper during share time. So, if it is the first time I present a join result unknown problem, (JRU) which is a less difficult problem type, and I think my students will do a really great job with it, I might use the chart paper. This way, I can save the chart paper and hang it or refer to it in the future. Students will have a visual reference for the problem type we did that day, as well as a reference for some of their classmates' strategies as I record them on the chart below the problem. <br />
Now, if I already have a few JRU charts in my classroom with great strategies, I might not want to make another one. In this case, I would display the problem on the SMART board and students would visually share their strategies right there on the SMART board below the problem. I might save this but more than likely I was presenting that problem type as a refresher and will not save it in my files. </div>
<div>
Chart paper can also be great in comparing problem types and strategies. For instance if I presented an adding (join) problem on Monday and a separate (subtraction) problem on Tuesday, I might show each chart with the two different problem types. I could essentially have a whole math lesson just by comparing the problem types and strategies on those two chart papers. </div>
<div>

This problem type is one of the most difficult for students to solve. It might take several attempts for the class to be successful, and I may anticipate that I will not have many effective strategies that I will want to record on a chart for future reference that particular day. <br />
In addition to this big visual of the problem, I give students a small copy of the problem to take with them to their seats and glue into their math notebooks. (More about this below) This way students will be able to refer to all problems in their notebooks and check out their own strategy when needed. There are so many scenarios here, just chose which method for presenting the problem you think might work best for your class. As a rule of thumb, if I anticipate I might want to refer back to the problem or strategies I chart it, if not I "go green" and use a less permanent presentation.</div>
<div>
Once the problem is presented, students are going to need to get some materials to work with. If you have manipulatives in your classroom that is awesome! Manipulatives can be anything students might use to help them create a concrete representation of the given problem. Here are some that come to my mind- counters, base ten blocks, linker cubes, hundred's charts, number lines, measuring tape, plastic or paper money, and much more. Now, if you don't have these things, there are some pretty cheap options out there for you. Any small object can be used as counters, beans, pasta, beads, etc. If you need hundreds charts, those are easily printed off from a computer. Then you can laminate or put inside page protectors for many uses with dry erase markers. I store these materials in a small shoe box sized plastic container with a lid. I like to put the smallest objects in zip lock baggies and containers. This is not my original idea. My coteacher always stored her materials in this manner, I thought it worked really well, so I just continued it when I moved into my own first grade classroom. I make enough "CGI" tubs for about 4 students per tub to share. I do this over the summer and keep them hand on a bookshelf year round in my classroom.<br />
I designate one person per table as my materials manager and they retrieve the tub for their group. <br />
Some students may choose to solve with mental math, fingers, drawings and other "non manipulative" ways. These strategies are great too and can definitely be used in any classroom instead of manipulatives. If you the teacher choose to stay away from manipulatives for problem solving, you can still incorporate CGI into your classroom very successfully. <br />

<br />
Okay! Here we are to my last point of this post. The students have their problem and their materials, now where are they going to do their work? I usually instruct my students to problem solve independently at their desk and record their thinking in their math notebook. Math notebooks in my class are full sized composition notebooks. I use those because I also use some interactive notebook cut outs in other lessons. In the past when my coteacher and I only used notebooks for my CGI problems, we would cut the notebooks in half and only use half a notebook for math and the other half for something else. Most office stores can cut the notebooks in half for a small price. I wish I could take credit for this great idea, but another teacher in my grade level turned my coteacher and I onto it a few years ago.<br />
Okay, so now students are at their seat, they should glue their copy of the problem in their notebook and then choose their strategy for solving. If they are drawing they might solve their problem right there in their notebook. Or maybe they use their fingers, choose a manipulative, or use mental math to solve. Then, I have students attempt to draw out whatever they did to solve in their notebooks. Students draw their counters, fingers, brains, hundreds charts, whatever they used right there on their pages. This can take some time to become efficient at. During share time we do a lot of modeling on how to record strategies. I also encourage students to record and equation to match their problem if it is within their ability to do so. <br />

Well there you have it! Those are all the materials you will need to set up your own CGI system in your classroom. Be sure to adapt any bit of it to meet your own classroom's needs. Email me with any questions or comments you might have!<br />
I will be back next week to discuss problem types and planning for CGI instruction. <br />

<div style="text-align: start;">
Well, funny you should ask! This is the first of many posts that will introduce you to how I do CGI in my first grade classroom. My understanding of CGI is still evolving mind you, as I learn something new each time I teach a lesson, visit with a fellow teacher, or attend a workshop. And you will never believe, this understanding has grown from a great deal of skepticism that lodged itself in my math teaching philosophy not too many years ago. </div>
<span style="text-align: start;"> </span><span style="text-align: start;">I started CGI style math instruction about 5 years ago with my coteacher in our first grade inclusion classroom. Since that time, I have had 3 years of professional development here in Arkansas on CGI. A great deal of our training came from the book, </span><u style="text-align: start;">Children's Mathematics, Cognitively Guided Instruction </u><span style="text-align: start;"> by Thomas P. Carpenter, Elizabeth Fennema, Megan Loef Franke, Linda Levi, and Susan B. Empson. </span><br />

<div>
This is a great resource, I refer to it often when planning for instruction as well as evaluating student problem solving. </div>
<div>
Over the past 5 years, I have learned so much about CGI and about the way our students naturally think about math and numbers. CGI is a way of teaching math that attempts to use a student's natural mathematics understanding to develop different math skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. CGI helps students develop a strong number sense through exploration and problem solving before teaching standard algorithms. </div>
<div>
Here's an example of how CGI might be used in older grades to teach a student to add two 2-digit numbers, you wouldn't teach them to write the problem vertically, add the ones and then the tens, and carry accordingly. Instead, you would present a word problem, such as Katie had 56 goldfish and Sarah had 28 goldfish. How many goldfish do they have all together. The teacher would then help students understand the problem, but not solve. Students would use any strategy that made sense to them to put the two number together, such as drawing a picture, using manipulatives, a number line, incrementing or any other strategy. As students work through these strategies, their understanding of place value and addition will grow. Later, they will grow into using more complex strategies such as the standard algorithm and more. </div>
<div>
CGI style problem solving can be used to facilitate mastery of many objectives and is ideal for kindergarten through third grades. Can you imagine a kindergartner multiplying or dividing? Stick with me! I can't wait to tell you more. </div>
<div>
This style of teaching is very student lead. There is very little teacher instruction, at least at the first part of class. As I mentioned before, I was very skeptical when I first began teaching CGI style math lessons. I thought that the problem solving approach was great for just that- problem solving, but more direct instruction was the only way for students to learn things like doubles and ten partners, fractions, <b>place value, </b>equal sign concepts and much more. I have been amazed time and time again at students of all levels who were able to reach a greater understanding of numbers and math concepts in all domains over the past few years. I probably don't have to tell you, I have been converted from a skeptic to a beliver! </div>
<div>
CGI is not really new math, it has been out much longer than common core state standards, but it is new to many teachers. I know I had never heard of it before 5 years ago. CGI also lends itself so incredibly to CCSS objectives. I have taught almost every first grade math objective by incorporating CGI style lessons into my math units. </div>
<div>
Are you wondering if CGI is for you and your students? I bet it might be! There is so much I can't wait to tell you about. We will talk about problem types, planning, student strategies, and many more things in the posts to come. The next post I do will be about setting up your classroom for CGI instruction. We will cover what I have found the most efficient way to store materials, work problems, display problems and more! <br />

It’s Featured Teacher Tuesday!
This week I would like to you to meet Christina from Hanging Around In Primary.
Christina has been teaching for 21 years (gasp!) Most of her teaching has been in Grade 1 but she has also taught Kindergarten through Grade 4. She also spent 3 ½ years working as a substitute teacher at the beginning of her career. She has been teaching in a small village just outside of Kingston, Ontario, Canada for most of her career.
When not teaching Christina is spending time with her family: a busy 12 and 15 year old and a husband who runs his own business. She loves to travel and spend time time at the cottage.
Christina has always had a passion for teaching. When she was growing up there was no question about what she wanted to do when she grew up. A first grade teacher was her dream job and she has been fortunate enough to teacher 6 year olds for the majority of her career so far.
Christina has always had a passion for creating her own classroom materials and sharing ideas with her colleagues. She stumbled upon Teachers Pay Teachers in 2012 and got the nerve up to post her own products in the winter of 2013. Since then she has continued to add products and really grow her store. She has many freebies to help early primary teachers out in Math, Literacy and Classroom Management. Click on the covers below to check out some of her popular freebies.

She also creates products that support directed teaching as well. These comprehension checks are perfect for whole group teaching as well for small group instruction. The Word Jail is one of her favourite products. She uses it to help students learn to read and spell those tricky rule breaker words. Her students love it.
Christina has been blogging for about a year and half. She enjoys sharing what is happening in her classroom and showing off her products in actions. You can check out a few of her most popular posts below. If you like what you read be sure to follow her to keep up with her posts!

Brrrrrrr! These cold days have me wishing I was snuggled up by a fire drinking some hot coco! My students, I do believe, would agree. We can't have that fire in our classroom, but we can sure have the hot coco! A few weeks ago, our math time turned to all things "chocolatey". Hot chocolatey that is. Let me explain. Part of being a first grader is learning to measure by expressing length in whole units. (<a class="identifier" href="http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/1/MD/A/2/" name="CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.A.2" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: #373737; font-family: 'Lato Light'; font-size: 11.76px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;">CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.A.2</a>) These units can be tiles, inches, pictures, cubes.....marshmallows, hot chocolate packets, straws.... you see where I am going here? So I decided it would be great fun to use some of those more unusual things to measure with. I started planning and one idea lead to the next and before my first graders knew it, we were up to our ears in marshmallows! YUM!<br />
To begin the unit, students were all given different sizes of marshmallows. Have you seen how many different shapes and sizes there are of marshmallows now? We worked on ordering these marshmallows by length and comparing the marshmallows to a standard unit. <a class="identifier" href="http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/1/MD/A/1/" name="CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.A.1" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: #373737; font-family: 'Lato Light'; font-size: 11.76px; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase;">CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.MD.A.1</a> We got really good at expressing our thoughts in "length" words. Words like longer, shorter, taller, wider, etc. became common vocabulary in our classroom. This helps to understand the idea of comparing length rather than size. Size words might be bigger, smaller, larger and so on. <br />

Students practiced the rest of the week practicing their measuring skills with marshmallows. They first got the hang of things by measuring objects on measuring mats and then quickly moved to measuring mugs, hot chocolate packets, school supplies and more. We really had a fun week and learned so much with this unit.

She has taught mostly first grade with a few years of second and kindergarten sprinkled in here and there. Her love is definitely first grade.

She feels blessed to be able to be a part of her students’ growth!</span></div>

She especially loves to teach phonics and reading! Grammar is also a subject she enjoys teaching. Carol started creating phonics and language units to sell on TpT a little over a year ago. She enjoys creating units to use in her own classroom and to share with others. The first grade classrooms in her district use her phonics and language units. You can click the links below to see a few of these.</span></div>

To encourage this, she has created Write the Room activities. These activities are a bunch of fun. Students move around the room looking at cards that are pinned to the wall and they record their answers on an answer sheet. These are a highly anticipated activity in her class. She has created quite a few to go along with her weekly phonics skills. You can check out her short vowel word family bundle here:</span></div>

We learned so much about fire safety as well as what firemen do and the equipment they use to keep us safe. Below are some pictures with Asher's dad. He is a fireman! He is teaching us about the rescue fire truck. It helps people who have had a wreck.

After learning about the rescue truck we got to see the smoke house. We went inside and learned about what we would do if our houses ever caught on fire. We practiced what we had learned when a real fire alarm went off inside the smoke house because of some pretend smoke. We went to our meeting spot and review all we had learned. Do you have a meeting spot at your home?<br />

<br />
living her dream as a first grade teacher. All her life, she has dreamt of teaching little kids to<br />
<br />
dream big and love learning, and her dream has been a reality for 4 years now! She teaches<br />
<br />
with the core concept of providing social justice to students that were just like her when she was<br />
<br />
a child. An immigrant, a nonnative English speaker, and from a family that lived modestly. She<br />
<br />
knows that every student has the capacity to learn, and she harnesses that ability to see her<br />
<br />
students shine. To read more about her teaching philosophy, you can read it here <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
creating fun activities for a primary classroom. With so much free time on her hands, March </div>

Just like their name says, they are two sisters who teach first grade at the same school in a small town in NC. They feel so blessed to get to teach with each other every day.<br />
Their TPT adventure began last summer. As they were sitting in a hot tub at the Outer<br />
Banks, they began to think of resources they needed to best compliment their words their way spelling instruction. You can check out some of the their short vowel word work<br />
packs in their TPT Store <br />

So since July they have been busy creating products, and they said no one told them how addicting it can be. Especially when colleagues come in and say, okay this is great, thanks for making this! Even though they are far from their first TPT million, the excitement of creating materials that meet their students needs has been the force that keeps them going.<br />
Samantha and Lisa are married and both have 3 children. Their oldest sons are in college at NCSU and Appalachian State, but they are still busy with their other teenagers who cheer and play football for their local high school. They enjoy being active in their churches, traveling, feeding the football team each Friday night and surfing the internet. They feel so blessed to be on this awesome journey and are thankful for the wonderful teacher friends they are making along the way. These sisters are always looking for ways to make learning fun and hands on. One of their newest products is a Halloween themed Boo game working with sight words and math printables working with sums up to 12. Check them out here.<br />
