Description
Who says you can't be constructivist in math class? Give these problems before you teach the lesson. Let your students see how they solve these journal entries and have them share their strategies. Did they draw a picture? Maybe they used tally marks to organize their math. The students will benefit from seeing that, even though there is only one right answer, there are many paths through mathematical thinking. Journaling in math empowers students to tackle problems even if they don't know the exact mathematical approach. Inside is a description of how to journal and how to guide your students in constructivist ways.
Included are three 20 minute, multi-step journal entries that spark deep problem solving, used in our class. Entries offer differentiation for your learners. Need more entries?
