Where can I find information about different the problem types? |
|
Roll your mouse over the words so that new links will open. Click the problem type that you want. |
|
| How do I identify students' strategies? |
|
Observe the students as they solve the problems and have them explain what they know to do. |
|
How do I teach strategies to students? |
|
Support the students’ use of more efficient problem solving strategies by modeling new strategies after the students have solved the problem using their self-selected strategies. To support students in learning new strategies, provide problems which cannot be solved with their familiar strategies. Offer more scenarios with similar problem types for students to solve. |
