Common Core Math: Problem Solving

by Christine Losq

This week’s visit with our expert teacher focuses on how to help students develop confidence and persistence in problem solving. In addition to deepening their math skills, this activity helps students use academic language.

Notice that it takes only 5 minutes to introduce and do the work and then 10 minutes for students to share their thinking. This pedagogy is a simple way to implement key Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice using whatever curriculum you have at hand.

This video comes to us via the Teaching Channel.

As always, thanks for all you do to educate our nation’s children.
