The second problem solving task took place today. Students first watched a two minute video about the advantage to thinking visually. Then partners were given a sheet with visual representations and a second sheet with guiding questions. Students were encouraged to identify the number to the representations, investigate interesting aspects of the representations, look for interesting patterns, and highlight or color code the patterns. Finally, partners had 1 minute to share their findings to the rest of the class.
***Tomorrow I will be absent from school. Students will work on a follow-up activity to today's work. In addition to the follow-up activity, students will be given a portrait copy of the class' Four 4's final solution work from last week. The table groups will verify as to whether or not the expressions truly match the desired solution (from 1-20).
All plans were shared with students in classes today. A blog is "scheduled" to show after 8AM tomorrow for your review.
These are today's worksheets:
