162- Key Words No More . . . The Real Keys to Problem Solving

Friday, November 13, 2015: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
101 AB (Minneapolis Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
Christopher M. Sarlo
Co-Speaker:
Patti J. Dieck


 

Strong problem solvers are able to decontextualize and "find the math" in word problems. They do this by assessing the problem and representing it visually . . . not by circling, underlining, or highlighting key words. This workshop will introduce teachers to "Read It–Write It–Picture It," the last problem-solving method students will need to learn.
