Problem Solving

This week in RtI Math, we finished the first unit of Strategies for Success; Math Problem Solving.

The worked with four problem solving strategies: Logical reasoning, Guess, Check, and Revise, Write an Equation, and Make a Table. They learned that they can use more than one strategy to solve a problem. So if a strategy does not seem to be working, try a different one.

We also have started using Math vocabulary in our problems of the day. Below are the problems for today.

1.What is the difference of 45 and 5.
2.Evaluate an equation to find the product of two numbers.
3.Write an expression for the sum of a number and a variable.
4.How much more is 32 than 6?
