LEARNING THEORIES IN THE CLASSROOM: SUBTRACTION OF DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBERS

WITH REGROUPING

By Maggie Reilley

WHAT WE WILL BE USING IN THIS LESSON

Base Ten Blocks Math Worksheet

COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTIVIST

Emphasizes on the child’s cognitive construction of knowledge and understanding

It builds off of what the child already knows

Purpose of Cognitive ConstructivismMake Math Realistic and Interesting Consider the Students’ Prior

Knowledge

PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT

Concrete Operational StageRanges from ages 7 to 11Students think operationally

and logical reasoning replaces intuitive thought but only in concrete situations, such as math

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST

Emphasizes the social contexts of learning and that knowledge is mutually built and constructed

Emphasizes on collaboration with others to produce knowledge and understanding

Purpose: Make the Math Curriculum Socially Interactive

VYGOTSKY’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT Children develop more systematic, logical ,

and rational concepts as a result of dialogue with a skilled helper, the skilled helper can be a teacher or more-skilled peer

It emphasizes that students construct knowledge through social

interactions with others

Zone of Proximal Development

COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Students work in small groups to help each other learn Cooperative scripting

groupStudents are in

reciprocal pairs and go back and forth summarizing information and orally presenting it to one another, the other student listens and monitors for any mistakes, then gives feedback to the student

SOCIAL COGNITIVE

Observational Learning – involves acquiring skills, strategies, and beliefs by observing othersAttentionRetentionProductionMotivationIn this particular lesson, students will

be observing the teacher of information and guidance
