Identifying which information is relevant and which is not necessary to solve the problem. ]]> 2018-01-21 16:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113394 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113417 The most challenging 'D' for me.  Getting my students to imagine the "whole-mind process" is something I lack in my instruction (Crockett, Jukes, &Churches, 2011).]]> 2018-01-21 16:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113417 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113425 My favorite part of solving real-world problems in the classroom with my students. Taking the information and putting it into an equation that we can solve. The set-up process is the most crucial in the math world.]]> 2018-01-21 16:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113425 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113494 Usually the easiest step for my students. Once they are able to set up the problem using the information given, the can use their skills that they have been taught to come up with a solution. ]]> 2018-01-21 16:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113494 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113513 I do none of this currently but I really like the thought of it.]]> 2018-01-21 16:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113513 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113839 My strength of the 6 D's.  Solving real-world problems in the math classroom must start with identifying what the students are supposed to figure out from the problem.

I want my students to envision what they think could be some possible answers to the problem before solving it. Realistic solution possibilities in this step will help them greatly in the 'Debriefing' step.]]> 2018-01-21 16:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113887 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113906 I could do a better job of showing multiple ways to set up the problem with the given information. ]]> 2018-01-21 16:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113906 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113927 Presenting the solutions to the problems is something I could do in this step with my students so that their classmates get a different viewpoint than myself.]]> 2018-01-21 16:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113927 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113943 This is the most eye-opening 'D' of the bunch.  I really like the thought of my students talking about their solution with one another to see if it makes sense.  For example, last week we worked on a problem that had my students find the price of two different vehicles and many of them were getting negative numbers for their answer. A debrief session with one another to see if this was realistic would have allowed them to catch their mistake and rework their steps.]]> 2018-01-21 16:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223113943 joseph_gerk https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223114811 2018-01-21 16:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/joseph_gerk/mq92dc2vjr0v/wish/223114811
