What Are the Beginning Strategies?

The school year is starting! For this exciting time, Pam and Kim want to discuss what starting strategies can help you and your students to build thinking relationships and strategies rather than simply answer getting.
Talking Points:

• Problem Talks are great ways to pre-assess your students
• Partial strategies are a great starting place but we have to help students develop more sophisticated strategies
• The starting strategies for each major operation
• Students need lots of experience developing relationships through Problem Strings and Rich Tasks for strategies to be natural outcomes
