Guided Multi-Step Problem Solving

引导式多步骤解题

Description

With teacher guidance, make sense of multi-step and more complex problems by planning a pathway to the solution, identifying relevant information, and choosing appropriate operations

Mastery Evidence
  • When given a word problem within 20 or 100, identify the known information and what needs to be found
  • Try a strategy (drawing, number line, known fact) and switch approach if the first attempt stalls
  • Check the reasonableness of an answer using estimation or a different method
Assessment Prompt

If your child works out that 3 children each get 12 sweets and ends up with 5, does your child pause and say "that doesn't seem right" rather than just writing it down?
