Allows the teacher to understand what the student knows and where breakdowns in the thought process may be occurring. Multiple strategies allows the students to check work and check for reasonable answers...if they're willing to look at in from a different point of view.]]> 2016-11-03 11:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035824 Stacy https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035880 For understanding - the biggest strategy for K students at this time of the year would be to verbally explain or draw it out. ]]> 2016-11-03 11:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035880 Melissa https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035890 They need to explain that they understand their thinking or what they did and know that there might me more than one way to solve the problem.]]> 2016-11-03 11:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035890 Lindsay https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035891 It helps them better understand what they are doing and shows their thinking in multiple ways. ]]> 2016-11-03 11:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035891 Melinda https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035892 Being able to explain mathematical thinking and using multiple strategies to get answers helps them problem solve when they are faced with *New learning and higher order thinking.]]> 2016-11-03 11:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035892 Nicole  https://padlet.com/shall43/2lve0bjipein/wish/135035949 Knowing multiple strategies allows students to solve new problems more effectively.
