Lets look at another: Blossom and her 4 friends want a snack. Blossom s mom brings them a plate of 10 cookies. How many cookies does each person receive?
How do we grow problem solvers? By asking thought provoking questions: Once they know the context of the problem ask: Can you use a model or drawing to represent the problem? Are there any tools you can use? Do you see a pattern? What strategy/operation could you use? What is going on in the problem? What do you know? What are you trying to find? After I solve the problem ask: Did I answer the question? Does my answer make sense?
Lets grow problem solvers. Thank you
