sequenced (addition before subtraction) and where students learn skills before they
use them to solve problems, the curriculum in CGI classes is integrated. For
example, students do not learn number facts as isolated bits of information. Rather
they learn them as they repeatedly solve problems, so that they begin to see
relationships between the various facts.]]> 2019-01-02 17:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090287 Carol https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090344 Student are engaged in deciding how to solve problems using what makes sense to them.]]> 2019-01-02 17:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090344 Students solve problems using their strategies with support from the teacher. https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090348 2019-01-02 17:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090348 https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090393 students develop their own problem-solving strategies]]> 2019-01-02 17:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090393 Ferg https://padlet.com/brjhdavis/fd1bdv9b98l2/wish/317090418 In CGI classes, students learn most new content by engaging in problem solving.
