A concise description on how to solve profit and loss problem in a few steps using basic and advanced profit and loss concepts and techniques.

Usually we solve difficult Algebra problems in a few steps using basic and rich Algebra concepts together with powerful general problem solving techniques visualizing the solution in the beginning itself. But this problem required more of deductive reasoning, mathematical reasoning, and exploratory application of core algebraic concepts such as symmetry in algebraic

Math problem solving strategies are a huge component of math instruction. These strategies often need to be explicitly taught to students.

I finally finished my first Teachers Pay Teachers packet of Kindergarten Math Problem-Solving Prompts! Click Here! If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know that I am just a little passionate about math problem-solving. OK, so I'm a big nerd! But since I started using a problem-solving model in my classroom several years ago, I have seen amazing growth in my students' math skills. Kindergartners can do so much more than I ever imagined! Problem-Solving is here to stay! If you follow the Common Core, the Mathematical Practices are all about Problem-Solving! 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. And if you're in Texas, like me, the new TEKS stress the "process standards" and explicitly state that children will use a problem-solving model: Students will use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the...

Collaborative Problem-Solving in Math - group work for math where everyone works

Inchworm, inchworm, Measuring the marigold. You and your arithmetic... You'll probably go far! So here is the beginning of my Kindergarten Measurement Unit. This is a fun unit, and that's a great thing, because we spend a lot of time on it! The unit is divided into 4 sections: length, surface area, weight and capacity. (We're also supposed to do temperature, but we cover that so much in science that we skip it in math). As with everything, we start out with lots and lots of hands-on, concrete learning activities. But once I feel like they have had enough practice, I give them a more abstract problem so that they can apply what they've learned. So let's start with LENGTH! In Texas, kindergartners only need to be able to compare 2 or 3 objects and tell whether they are longer, shorter or the same (and the Common Core Standards look similar). But my children usually master that concept very quickly, so we move on to measuring with non-standard units. K(10) Measurement. The student directly compares the attributes of length, area, weight/mass, capacity, and/or relative temperature. The student uses comparative language to solve problems and answer questions. The student is expected...
