Professor Kruse asked s this week to ask someone how they would solve a problem/thinking out loud as we did in on of our previous classes I asked my daughter who is in 2nd grade ths year about a math problem she was doing for the night's homework. In class they have been studying doubles plus two ex 4+6. When she told me how she solved ths problem she said she thought about solving 4+4 first and she knew that was eight from what she has been taught in the past. She said then he knew she had two more to add to that so she came up with 4+6=10. Right away I knew she was using CLT without realizing it. From her background knowledge of what 4+4= she then added the knowledge of adding on two more. May be a stretch but I think by her breaking down the math problem into more familiar terms she was using SLT. Now the use of DLT is still a struggle, I know tha when using DLT it is when it starts concrete and moves to more abstract, so not sure if when she was figuring the problem out and th7e problem of 4+4 was the more cncrete as that was what she already knew then moving to 4+6 without thinking and wrote the answer was the more abstrat part. Any thought?
