One of our goals this year is to help students continue to try to figure out Math problems, even when they are finding them difficult. Another goal is to help them improve their skills when working through open ended questions that have many different answers. Teachers have been planning and designing opportunities for students to use multiple methods to solve problems. Students have been explaining their thinking in a variety of ways, and have been coming up with more than one way to show their answers.
Below is a problem that was presented in Kindergarten. Students were asked to show the number 7 in as many ways as they could. This particular student was able to come up with 12 different ways. She was very proud that she clearly understood what 7 could look like!
