Name
Problem Solving with Real-Life Items
Description
Learn how to incorporate and differentiate problem solving and math concepts in the classroom with everyday items such as money, measuring cups, tape measures, thermometers, clocks and more. Real-life items provide authentic opportunities for students to build number sense and critical thinking skills so they can easily transfer their understanding to more advanced math concepts such as fractions, decimal numbers, and integers. Problems can be adapted from Grades 1 to Grades 6 using minimal vocabulary and student interests. Examples of closed and open problem-solving questions will be provided and ideas of how to incorporate video problem solving using Seesaw or Flipgrid will be discussed.
