Actionable Steps to Take Today:

After today’s episode here are some things you can do TODAY:

  • Give students 2 problems. 
    First problem: Talk about it. Get DIRTY with them.
    Second problem: Change one thing.
    Then: Compare and contrast the problems.
  • 👆🏾 This system John & I discussed is SO similar to Word Problem Workshop… be sure to sign up for my free masterclass covering the 3 secrets to getting every student to solve word problems! MonaMath.com/Class
  • Bring back PLAY– allow students to have informal opportunities to develop the skills of a problem solver through logical games, etc.
  • Start anticipating what your students will think or say.
  • Use your colleagues to plan & anticipate. Build in time for collaborative planning!
  • Ask yourself these questions: What’s my math story? What are your students strengths? What do you think they are going to do?
