10 mins
Walk around
the room and
establish the
different ways
the children
solved the
question.
Instruct the children to think about the strategy that they may use to solve the question as they go back to their desks. Ask the children
that when they are solving the question, they will need to provide 6 answers to the question by saying something along the lines of:
Okay, when you are looking at the possible answers, can you get to six different answers? Would it be possible to get more?
Encourage the students to speak to each other to see how others are answering the question. If children get to the 6 answers, hand them
the same question, but with the following question at the bottom:
What would happen if Marcus took $1,555.00 From the beginning?
and ask them to provide another 6 answers, using a different written or mental strategy with the new information that was added to the
question.
Conclusion
(Presentation/Reflection)
1. Ask the students to spend 5 minuets discussing how they got to the answers that they produced in pairs. Essentially, they will
show each other different ways to get the answers that are avaliable.
2. Ask the class to come together to then explain how their partner for point number one got their answer. This should ensure that
the children that have understood the concept cemented inplace. It will also show the students that have not grasped the concepts
employed.
