What do you already know to help you solve this problem?
Could you use any resources to help you?
Could you draw a picture to help you?
What methods could you use to solve this problem?
How many different methods could you use?
- What is the problem asking you to do?
- Let’s Learn–This is the part of the lesson which will focus on the appropriate methods to solve the problem. The characters are there to help you: either to guide learning, expose misconceptions, prompt discussions or encourage learners to justify their reasoning.

To offer challenge, children could ‘journal about their discoveries’. Here are some examples of journal entries that your child could use:
Write a set of instructions for your friend explaining how you solved today’s problem.
Write down two or three different methods to solve today’s problem. Why did you choose these methods? In your opinion, which method is the best and why?
Pick a calculation from the Guided Practice section of the lesson and write a story for what the numbers mean.
If you completed a calculation in the lesson, highlight some of the steps for the calculation and write down what is
happening in each of the highlighted steps.
Thank you for explaining ???
