208- Context vs. Key-Word Approach to Solving Problems

Friday, October 18, 2013: 2:30 PM-4:00 PM
Room 309 (Baltimore Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Ann Wallace

Good problem solvers look beneath the surface information at the underlying model. I will focus on how to help students understand word problems before solving them.
