Instructional Ideas

• Challenge your classes to solve each example without instruction, and discuss different strategies

Classroom Considerations

• Review key words that may help to write equations such as difference, total, is, quotient, etc.
• Your classes will most likely find problem solving intimidating, so provide class time to work on practice problems to allow opportunities for support
• The lesson represents the 19th in a 20-part series

Pros

• Uses a variety of examples that use different operations and methods of solving
• Provides problem-solving strategies and hints

Cons

• Examples are all multiple choice questions while the practice problems are all open-ended
