MY CART
So, for the past 4 years, I have made it a point to include a ‘Problem of the Day’ in my math lesson plans. The past two years, I have shifted more towards a ‘model-drawing’ method. I have been quite pleased with the results. This prompted me to come up with a more efficient way for students to record their work.
Up until the creation of this Problem Solving template, students simply recorded their work and answer to the day’s problem on a sheet of lined paper. Each day they’d get their paper back and add the next problem to the page. The problem with this system...grading their work was like going on a scavenger hunt in search of their solution. Unfortunately, it seemed no amount of my stressing, complaining, etc. was going to fix the issue. Thus, this newly created document!
Note that this packet does not contain actual story problems. The purchaser will have to find a resource to meet that need...this packet simply contains 40 pages of a Problem of the Day template (work space and final answer space). If you print all 40 pages students will have recording space for 180 days of problems.
If you want to learn more about how I structure Problem of the Day in my classroom as well as some of the Problem of the Day resources I use, please visit Mrs. B's Best Blog

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have 25 years teaching experience. Thirteen of those years were spent teaching first grade and one year teaching kindergarten. For the past 11 years, I have taught 5th grade. While there are many things I miss about working with 'the little ones' in the primary grades, I have to say I have really found great satisfaction in working with older students. While teaching reading is a great passion of mine, I have found myself teaching math the past five years. That's just how it goes in education sometimes :) I am slowly finding that a have a passion for math as well. Who knew! No matter what grade level or subject I find myself teaching, I have always enjoyed using technology to make my life easier. I enjoy sharing those various items I've created with other teachers.
