BACK TO THE RESEARCH LESSON
At the end of Grade 4, students know how to solve and express solutions of problems having three operations of natural numbers.
Example. A toy train has 3 wagons with the length of 2 cm, and 2 wagons with the length of 4 cm. Find the length of the train?
Answer. 3 2 + 2 4 = 14 (cm).
PRACTICING

SETTING THE PROBLEM IN A REVERSE WAY
A toy train has two types of wagon: 2 cm-wagons and 4 cm-wagons. This train has the length of 14 cm including 5 wagons. Find the numbers of 2 cm-wagons and 4 cm-wagons of the train.
Find and such that:
+ = 5.
and
2 + 4 = 14 (Condition)

ANALYSIS OF INTRODUCTORY TASK Open-ended Task
Use 2 cm-cards and 4 cm-cards to make a toy train of 5 wagons?
PLAYING AROUND AND OBSERVING
Pupils can arrange the cards to make a train, use the strategy "guess and check" to get many answers

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LENGTH AND THE NUMBERS OF REDS AND BLUES
If the number of red wagons increases one, then the length of the train decreases 2 cm.
If the length of the train is given then we can find exactly the N. of reds wagons and N. of blues.
The length of the train is understood as a restricted condition
![Page 22: HUE City, Vietnam Hue University’s College of Education 32 Le Loi St. APEC-Khon Kaen International Symposium August 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1c5503460f94c33144/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
T: How many red wagons and blue wagons in your train?
S: 3 and 2. We have 3 2 + 2 4 = 14 cm.

ANALYSIS OF TASK 1Open-ended Task
Make a train with the length of 16 cm.
MANIPULATING AND OBSERVING
Pupils can arrange the cards to make a train, use the strategy "guess and check" to get many answers

Students analysed number 16 as follows:
16 = 8 2 + 0 4 16 = 2 2 + 3 4
16 = 6 2 + 1 4 16 = 0 2 + 4 4
16 = 4 2 + 2 4

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LENGTH AND THE NUMBERS OF REDS AND BLUES
• The number of red wagons is always
even. ?• If the number of wagons of the train is
given then we can find exactly the N. of reds wagons and N. of blues.
•The number of wagons of the train is understood as “a restricted condition”.

LOGICAL REASONING
T: If the train has 6 wagons, how many red wagons and blue wagons in this train?
S: From the table I saw that this train has 4 red wagons and 2 blue wagons.
T: If we do not make the table, can you explain your solution?
S: If all 6 wagons are red, the train's length decreases 4 cm. So I got 2 blue wagons.
T: Who can express the answer by using mathematical operations?
S: (16 - 6 2) ÷ 2 = 4 ÷ 2 = 2 (blue wagons).

ANALYSIS OF TASK 2Inducing
A train with the length of 50 cm including 20 wagons, how many red wagons and blue wagons are there? The teacher guided students to induce a procedure by using the temporary assumption to solve the problem.
T: If 20 wagons are red, what is the length of the train?S: 40 cm.T: Why does the length decrease?S: Because we replaced blue wagons by red wagons?T: How many blue wagons did we replace?S: 5 blue wagons. T: How did you get 5?S: (50 - 40) ÷ 2 = 5.

ANALYSIS OF TASK 3Generalization
A train with the length of 100 cm including 36 wagons, how many red wagons and blue wagons are there? The teacher guided students to generalize the procedure by using the temporary assumption to solve the problem.
Students applied the procedure to solve Task 3.N. of blue wagons: (100 - 36 2) ÷ 2 = 14 (wagons). The number of red wagons: 36 - 14 = 22 (wagons).

With this kind of teaching, teacher helps students dig deeply into a textbook problem and build up a habit of unsatisfying with achieved results;
Encourage students to be interested in investigating and seeking for another solutions, and creative in learning mathematics.
Teacher helps students develop their mathematical thinking.

FOUR MAIN ACTIVITIES IN A LESSON THAT TEACHERS SHOULD FOLLOW TO DEVELOP STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL THINKING (MOET 2006):
Activity 1. Examine and Consolidate the previous knowledge involved with new lesson;
Activity 2. Teacher facilitates students explore mathematical knowledge and construct new knowledge by themselves.
Activity 3. Students practice the new knowledge by solving exercises and problems in the textbook and exercise book.
Activity 4. Teacher concludes what students have learnt from new lesson and assigns the homework.
![Page 36: HUE City, Vietnam Hue University’s College of Education 32 Le Loi St. APEC-Khon Kaen International Symposium August 2007](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f1c5503460f94c33144/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ENGAGING TO THE LESSON, THE PUPILS WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO SHOW THEIR MATHEMATICAL THINKING THROUGH:
•The ability of observing, predicting, rational reasoning and logical reasoning;
•Knowing how to express procedures, properties by language at specific levels of generalization (by words, word formulas);
•Knowing how to investigate facts, situations, relationships in the process of learning and practicing mathematics;
•Developing ability on analyzing, synthesis, generalization, specifying; and starting to think critically and creatively.

The level of difficulty and complexity of a problem is defined by the achievement objectives in the standard curriculum for each strand of mathematics.
The exercises in the practice lessons are ranked:
- From easy to difficult, - From simple to complicated, - From direct practice to flexible and
combined applications.
