Rote and Strategy
This clip is about rote procedure and personal strategies. Who walked faster? One went 8 km in 1 1/4 hours. The other? He went only 6 km, but did it in 3/4 of an hour. Watch how they attempt to solve the problem, as well as a misunderstanding of fractional parts of the whole!

Estimation & Calculation
This clip is about estimation and calculation. With estimation skills, we can assess whether or not our problem solving makes sense. If we only have calculation skills, we may not have a deep conceptual understanding.

Algorithm & Personal
Strategies
This clip is about the reliance of calculators and algorithms without number sense. If we only have calculation skills, we may not have a deep conceptual understanding. Watch what happens when we try to make change from a 10 dollar bill.
