We started by physically role playing the problem to find the answer and then moved on to using counters to represent the parts of the story. Now, we are working on using drawings as a strategy for solving math problems. kimberly_cruger https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740068 2017-12-09 19:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740068 Another component to these these learning experiences is that there are many different ways to solve math problems and there are often different answers to the same problem. kimberly_cruger https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740276 2017-12-09 19:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740276 This particular story problem was: Kim saw animals out in the field. She counted 12 legs. What animals might have been out in the field? kimberly_cruger https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740348 2017-12-09 19:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly_cruger/si9xtsjvb5d7/wish/214740348
