Question #1:  The teacher reviews addition because it is the opposite of subtraction. The students need to know how to add the information and know the basics of the numbers before starting to learn the subtraction. The students discussed the different ways they learned how to add and they can use these same strategies to work on their subtractions skills. Question #2:  Repetition of something helps to drill the operation into the students memory so it becomes habit to them. Sometimes songs or poems help students to remember the operations because it is something they can recite in their head when they get stuck on a problem. Repetition is what helps a student remember and comprehend the materials. Question #3: Having students estimate, getting into small groups to discuss helps all the students get involved and state their opinion. The teacher asks for the students to estimate and think of what the answer might be without being able to actually measure. Connecting to a real world experience will keep students involved. Students will need to know how tall things are later in life and they all have a height to be guess. The teacher kept them engaged by having jobs for the leaders and giving them the responsibility of keeping others on task. Each students had a job and their was an end goal. The students were engaged and working together through the whole process.
