I also sent this home in a hand out! We are currently working on adding three and four digit numbers, in a problem solving format. The students are challenged to figure out what operation to do, and then practice these strategies. Later, they will choose their own personal strategies. They are given 2 or 3 different numbers to choose from, so they are able to work at their own pace. When they are finished, I challenge them to use a different (harder) set of numbers, practice another strategy OR write their own problem with their own set of numbers (and solve it!) |
