Problem solving!

We haven't wasted any time jumping right into our work with problem solving!

We're working in randomized groups of 3 at the whiteboards to collaboratively solve different types of open-ended Math problems. The above picture shows us finding all the possible 6 digit numbers with a sum of 51.

We have also started collaborating in groups at the whiteboards for word problems. Mme Careen reads the problem with us before we take a copy of the question to our whiteboard working space. We have a chance to share our ideas and strategies while working through the problem with our group. Once we have found the answer, we need to make sure that each group member understands the steps taken to arrive at the solution before returning to our spots. We then have time to independently write out our solutions on our own question sheet (referring back to the whiteboards and conferring with our group members if need be) before handing in our work.
