https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL If you've asked "how do I get started with PrBL?", then this is a conversation designed for you. Let's talk about and practice some specific strategies for designing and facilitating problem-based experiences in your classroom. en-us 2016-09-13 17:30:10 UTC 2025-10-23 20:27:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/123580905 2016-09-13 18:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/123580905 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/123593606 2016-09-13 19:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/123593606 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124789759 Recording of PD]]> 2016-09-19 15:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124789759 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124790255 101qs.com-real world problem solving

Begin with the standards
*find a place where content and practice overlap
*adapt what exists (tests, textbooks, etc.)
1. Problem____>Solution
This should be a valuable struggle with multiple outcomes.
*If students say, "Is this right?",  respond "I have no idea, show me your process?"
3. Start with the Answer!
*the conversation is more valuable if they can explain
*this forces them to verbalize their process
4. Open in the middle
*Ask: What did you notice?
What did you wonder?]]> 2016-09-19 15:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124794240 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124795668 We have to deliberately help the students along the way.
Use the problem planning form.
*We have to know where the student will get stuck so we can guide and scaffold
*never skip anticipated knows and need to knows
*you have to find a context to make this meaningful]]> 2016-09-19 15:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124795668 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796344 Can be workshops and games, does not have to be direct instruction]]> 2016-09-19 15:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796344 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796787 Make sure you launch your problem with people outside of your content area, so they can highlight your need to knows or help you rewrite your problem, add data, etc (they'll get stuck just like the students)]]> 2016-09-19 15:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796787 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796867 Just give the students the answers and make them show their process. ]]> 2016-09-19 15:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124796867 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124797360 Continually Refine your problem statement...before and after know/need to knows]]> 2016-09-19 15:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124797360 dlimon https://padlet.com/dlimon/PrBL/wish/124797570 Begin with Knows and Need to Knows (no need for an entry event).
Move onto what you notice and wonder about the problem.

Act 1: Show a visual and Ask what questions come to mind that we can explore mathematically.
Act 2: Provide more info to answer the question.
