Problem of the Day

 

 

Each day, we work on problem solving in our math notebooks. 

We are currently working on measurement problems. 

Here is today's problem: 

  

 

Nathan is 4 feet 7 inches tall. 

Mrs. Collins is 5 feet 2 inches tall. 

How much taller is Mrs. Collins than Nathan?

EXPLAIN using words how you arrived at your answer.

Wonderful job working together as a TEAM!!!

 

 

GREAT model here of using a different strategy! 

I couldn't believe how many ways the students represented their thinking -

I always say "There's more than one way to solve a problem!"

SUPER partner work! 

What a great way to solve the problem using a series of equations!

Practically PERFECT work...so pleased with their explanation!

 

This group has such a wonderful ENTHUSIASM for learning!

They also did a wonderful job of being very thorough in their thinking.

 

 Here are two MATHEMATICIANS in the making!

Great work shown here.

Very ARTICULATE group!

I was impressed with their ability to demonstrate thinking.
