Problem Solving In Mathematics Grades 3 6

Problem-solving skills are critical to students' success in mathematics, but the techniques can't be caught; they must be taught. Based on the premise that educators must take a deliberate approach to the teaching of problem-solving skills, this book helps teachers engage students in the process. Problem Solving in Mathematics, Grades 3-6 presents nine strategies that students can use to solve problems, such as working backwards, finding a pattern, making a drawing, or solving a simpler equivalent problem. Each chapter demonstrates how teachers can Use the strategies with students at different grade levels Incorporate these strategies into a mathematics program Apply each strategy to real-life situations Make each strategy an integral part of students' thinking processes With helpful teaching notes, sample problems for students that fit into any mathematics curriculum, and step-by-step solutions to sample problems, this book is perfect for teachers who want their students to succeed in mathematics! Book jacket.

With sample problems and solutions, this book demonstrates how teachers can incorporate nine problem solving strategies into any mathematics curriculum to help students succeed.

Beast Academy Guide 2A and its companion Practice 2A (sold separately) are the first part in the planned four-part series for 2nd grade mathematics. Book 2A includes chapters on place value, comparing, and addition.

Hands-On Problem Solving is an easy-to-use resource that helps teachers plan and implement best practices for teaching problem solving throughout the school year.

Now for grades K-8 with a new kindergarten level and newly revised editions of grades 1 and 2. These new editions of this popular program features: -- lessons that use manipulatives to emphasize hands-on learning at each grade level -- assessment guidelines The program enhances any math text, teaching students to: -- approach problems systematically -- identify various solution strategies -- realize that more than one strategy may be used on a single problem Teacher Sourcebooks feature easy-to-follow strategies, guidelines for multiple uses of the program, extension problems, and evaluation methods. Each Teacher Sourcebook includes blackline masters with problem clusters to reproduce intact or cut into individual problems. Use them as resources for problem-of-the-day, problem-of-the-week, homework activities, or in a problem-solving resource center. Available in Spanish for grades 1-6.

Mathematics educators have long recognised the importance of helping students to develop problem-solving skills. More recently, they have searched for the best ways to provide their students with the knowledge encompassed in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This volume is one in a series from NCTM that equips classroom teachers with targeted, highly effective problems for achieving both goals at once. The 44 problems and tasks for students in this book are organised into the major areas of the high school Common Core: algebra, functions, geometry, statistics and probability, and number and quantity. Examples of modelling, the other main CCSS area, are incorporated throughout. Every domain that is required of all mathematics students is represented. For each task, teachers will find a rich, engaging problem or set of problems to use as a lesson starting point. An accompanying discussion ties these tasks to the specific Common Core domains and clusters they help to explore. Follow-up sections highlight the relevant CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice that students will engage in as they work on these problems. This book provides high school mathematics teachers with dozens of problems they can use as is, adapt for their classrooms, or be inspired by while creating related problems on other topics. For every mathematics educator, the books in this series will help to illuminate a crucial link between problem solving and the Common Core State Standards.
