What kids do
“Plan a problem-solving math lesson: launch the task, let students explore, then bring them together to compare strategies.”
Printed on the sheet:
- The task or problem:
- Launch: how I will introduce the problem (5 minutes)
- Questions to ask while they work
- Discuss: who shares, in this order
Teacher tip
Write down which students used each strategy so you can call on them in the discussion.
How to use it
- Fill it in digitally or by hand, and keep a copy in your sub folder.
- Plan a week ahead so you can gather materials in time.
- Slide it into a sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker to reuse it all year.
Watch for
Plans so packed there is no room for reteaching. Leave a flex block each week.
Talk about it
- What will I do for students who need more help?
- What is one thing that went well this week?
