3 Strategies to keep in mind as a student:
- Get confident!!
- Most kids have a step by step to solve but it is good
- teachers want students to excel quickly but with problems, we must go slow.
3 Strategies to solve problems
- Teach a routine: Make a before, during and after list. Create flexible thinkers and build confidence. A routine pushes students to slow down. Incorporate turn and teach which helps everyone expresses thoughts and ideas. Last strategy share where some students share the methods they use to solve.
- Differentiate word problems: Adjust numbers or remove distractors as they read the problem. Scaffolding will help you gain confidence and improve problem-solving. Start with a simple version. This is good when teaching the different structure of a word problems to go with certain operations.
-Compare problems side by side: flexible thinking allows to analyze and compare word problems. Start using problems that have similar stories and numbers. Use visual representation and have students discuss the different operations.
Use these strategies to thinking and talking about problem-solving strategy.

Hi Luisa,
ReplyDeleteI really like your post! I think the three strategies you discussed above are great way to engage students and provide them with the necessary skills and resources they need to succeed. It is really important to provide students with routine for consistency, differentiation because not all students learn alike, and side by side visuals so they can actually see what is being taught or discussed.
Great job!!!
Sincerely,
Nicole
