| Description | | Too often when problem solving, our students have developed into what Graham Fletcher calls “pluckers”. They pluck numbers out and then try to find a key word that tells them which operation to perform. In this all-day workshop, we will be exploring all the Cognitively Guided Instruction problem types that involve single-step multiplication and division (there are 9!) and some multi-step problems involving all 4 operations with various number sets. Included in this work will be modeling the structure of the problem types using concrete materials like Cuisenaire rods and pictorial models such as bar models/tape diagrams. In addition, we will discuss many ideas for how we can engage all learners in the process of problem solving that takes into account the diverse needs of all our learners such as discussing worked examples, 3 Reads Protocol, Numberless Word Problems, and Building Thinking Classrooms. Together we can create flexible and confident mathematicians and ensure positive math journeys for all!
Ann Elise Record will be presenting.
