Description

These problem solving tools are a MUST for guiding children to solve math problems methodically. Display the 5-step problem solving process, model how to solve, hand out bookmarks and review math clue words! All of these math tools help guide students to solve problems independently.

Cactus themed problem-solving aids for students + math tools.

Included:

Problem solving steps - available in 3 formats

1. Two one-page poster formats of the 5 steps to solve a problem.

2. Problem solving guide big poster (over 4 pages).

3. Bookmarks on reminders

Math clue words – available in 2 formats

1. Student cheat sheet (list of all the clue words on half a page) Can also be used as a large bookmark.

2. Operation signs (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) with clue words written inside.

** All formats include colour and black and white versions.

Students that follow steps to solve problems, are more likely to understand the problem more in depth and produce a more complete answer. After teaching the 5 steps to solve a problem (and repeating them many times), I post the large ‘steps for problem solving’ on the class wall. When solving a problem together, I model how to go through the steps. Usually, they have 2 highlighter colours for each step.

I provide them with the bookmark to save their spot in their problem-solving books.

Also posted on the wall are the 4 operation signs with the math clue words. This serves as a reminder of what operation to use based on the vocabulary in the problem. Student cheat sheets are also available.

These tools are also great resources to add to IEP's. Checklists and visuals are a must for IEP students as well as the whole class! Check out my blog to find out more Savvy Elementary Teacher Blog.

CCSSMP1

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
