Numberless Word Problem Trick or Treat! Numberless Word Problem Brian Bushart | @bstockus

What do you notice? What do you wonder? (Assuming someone says it looks like a bar graph) What do you think this bar graph could represent?

What new information was added? How does it change your thinking? (Assuming someone commented on the previous screen or on this one that there is a bar missing) How tall do you think the bar for Snickers might be? Why do you say that?

What new information was added? How does it change your thinking? Look at the height of the bar for Snickers. How does it compare with your prediction? Considering everything we know now, what do you think this bar could be about? What do you think the vertical axis is going to represent?

What new information was added? How does it change your thinking? What does the label on the y-axis mean? Why does it say “In Millions”? What numbers do you think belong on the scale along the y-axis?

What new information was added? How does it change your thinking? Using the information you know now, how many dollars in sales do you think each bar represents?

What new information was added? How does it change your thinking? What math questions could you answer using the information in this graph?

How much greater were the sales for Reese’s than Kit Kats? What is the question asking? How can we use the information in the graph to help us answer the question?

Problem of the Day

Think about your success criteria as you solve. Problem of the Day A fourth-grade class needs five leaves each day to feed its 2 caterpillars. How many leaves would they need each day for 12 caterpillars? What are you picturing/visualizing as I read the problem? Think about your success criteria as you solve.

Success Criteria for “We Do” their seats. Students use their visual models to explain what they did to their partner.

Mathematical Goal and Success Criteria Anticipating strategies Successful Planning for Problem of the Day Mathematical Goal and Success Criteria Anticipating strategies When do we post it?

Selecting students’ strategies Sequencing students’ strategies Successful Planning for Problem of the Day “If I watch and listen during small group independent work, I am then able to use my observations to decide what and who to make focal” during whole-class discussion. Monitoring Selecting students’ strategies Sequencing students’ strategies Connecting strategies to the goal and success criteria

Next, how would you sequence the answers? Get with your grade levels and anticipate one of the problems (correct and incorrect answers). Next, how would you sequence the answers? What questions would you someone struggling or someone who finishes fast?
