Multiple Strategies for the Same Answer
Grades: 3-8
Description:
There are many ways to solve a problem. In math, there is usually
only one "right" answer, but how students arrive at that answer can
vary. Any strategy or combination of strategies that produces the
correct answer is valid. The reproducible activities in this book will
help students learn to model and solve problems in different ways
while developing and using their own problem-solving strategies
and techniques. Students will be guided through a variety of
problem-solving strategies as suggested in the latest NCTM
Standards--Act It Out, Use a Picture or Diagram, Make a Table or
Chart, Make a Graph, Make an Organized List, Guess and Check,
Find a Pattern, Work Backwards, Use Logical Reasoning, Simplify,
and Brainstorm. Once the strategies are learned, your students will
have an invaluable set of skills for solving almost any problem now
and in the future. Answer Key included.
