In this new book from popular math consultant and bestselling
author Dr. Nicki Newton, you'll learn how to help students become
more effective and confident problem solvers. Problem solving is a
necessary skill for the 21st century but can be overwhelming for
both teachers and students. Dr. Newton shows how to make word
problems more engaging and relatable, how to scaffold them and help
students with math language, how to implement collaborative groups
for problem solving, how to assess student progress, and much more.
Topics include: Incorporating problem solving throughout the math
block, connecting problems to students' real lives, and teaching
students to persevere; Unpacking word problems across the
curriculum and making them more comprehensible to students;
Scaffolding word problems so that students can organize all the
pieces in doable ways; Helping students navigate the complex
language in a word problem; Showing students how to reason about,
model, and discuss word problems; Using fun mini-lessons to engage
students in the premise of a word problem; Implementing
collaborative structures, such as math literature circles, to
engage students in problem solving; Getting the whole school
involved in a problem-solving challenge to promote schoolwide
effort and engagement; and Incorporating assessment to see where
students are and help them get to the next level. Each chapter
offers examples, charts, and tools that you can use immediately.
The book also features an action plan so that you can confidently
move forward and implement the book's ideas in your own classroom.
