  2. Agenda: • Mathematical Problem – Solving Strategies • Progression through the K-3 • Hands - on Activity • Q & A “Problem solving has been defined as what to do when you don’t know what to do.” Crossing the River with Dogs, page 2

  3. Problem - Solving Strategies Useobjects Guess and check Work backward Write an equation Solve a simpler (or similar) problem Make a model • Look for a pattern • Construct a table • Make an organized list • Act it out • Draw a picture

  4. Kindergarten • Boys & Girls: • There are 4 children in the block center. Some are girls and some are boys. I am wondering how many could be boys and how many could be girls. • Use pictures, numbers and words to show your work. Show and tell how you know. • Goldfish: • The teacher has two fish tanks. She has 3 fish. The teacher wants to put the fish into the two tanks. How many different ways can she put the fish into the fish tanks. Use pictures, numbers, and words. • Show and tell how you know.

  5. First Grade • Blueberry Muffins: • Kimberly starts with 2 blueberries. Every day Kimberly picks 2 blueberries from the tree. She needs 14 blueberries to make muffins. • On what day will she have 14 blueberries? Show your work. • Explain your thinking.

  6. First Grade • How many hands? • The children are making a painted collage of their hands. If there are 8 children at 3 tables, what is the greatest number of hands that could be in the picture? • Show how you figured it out. • How does knowing how to count by 2’s help you solve this problem?

  7. Second Grade • Blueberry Muffins: • Kimberly is making blueberry muffins. Kimberly starts with 2 blueberries. Every day Kimberly picks 4 blueberries from the tree. She needs 34 blueberries to make muffins. • On what day will she have 34 blueberries? Show your work. • Explain your thinking.

  8. Third GradeWhat’s the deal? • Michael wants some donuts. He is very cheap and wants to save even the smallest amount of money. He found a coupon for Dunkin Donuts. The coupon was for $1.00 off a dozen donuts. This week they are on sale for $3.50 a dozen but Michael cannot use the coupon. If Michael waits to use his coupon next week the donuts will be $.25 each. Is it cheaper for Michael to buy the donuts this week at that sale price or wait until next week and use his coupon? • Show your work. • Explain your thinking.
