Kelly’s Solution is a multi-digit multiplication problem in which fifth grade students are asked to crtique the work of a student. The student work highlights a common error of forgetting to leave a place holder when multiplying by the ten’s place during multiplication. Students must recognize the student’s error by examining the work shown, correcting the error, and providing the correct answer to the problem.

I used this task with my 3rd grade students. The purpose of this task was to notice how to use regrouping when subtracting. I wanted students to recognize and understand when it is appropriate to regroup when subtracting. The students were given 2 different answers for the same subtraction problem. The student had to decide which answer was correct. The student had a place to include their claim and argument, as well as have time to discuss with a partner and record their partner’s thoughts.

This task is an application of double-digit subtraction. Students must critique student work that uses subtraction incorrectly. The student work highlights a common error in multi-digit subtraction in which students forget to borrow when subtracting a larger digit from a smaller digit. The task encourages partner share and uses argumentation language including claim and evidence.

Second graders are required to solve double digit addition number problems with and without regrouping. They sometimes have a problem determining whether or not they need to regroup. In this problem they need to explain how they solved it and what tool they used. Most students would choose to use place value blocks or a hundreds or two hundreds chart to prove their answer.
