Adapted Plan
After analyzing the students work, we decided to prepare the „treatment plan‟ for students who had difficulties understanding the relation between the „concepts‟ and the problem situations. This plan was discussed with the two other teachers too. It was decided to use student interviewing during the problem solving process. So, the supplement worksheets with more illustrations and figures were prepared. They were considered as necessary material for students. For two weeks, teachers worked after regular classes with the identified students in need using individual interviews. All interviews started with similar initial questions, but the follow-up questions depended on the answers that were given. During this process, cubes, counters, and other objects available in the classroom were used, including paper and pencil to take notes. Students were encouraged to freely talk, write and draw. It was required to explain their way of thinking in their solutions. In the same way, teacher Miranda and teacher Shqiponja interviewed their students. Everything that students said and did was registered and then discussed with me in order to analyses and evaluate two aspects of the use of multiplication and division – as operations for calculation and, as operations to solve problems in different situations.
