What educators are saying

Life - Saver... for my observation doing a Close Read in Math - made me look like I knew what I was doing!! :-)
I love using this in my classroom. It helps me come up with math problems that are easily differentiated for each students level. This is a great one to play games.

Description

Close reading in math will help our students to make sense of the problem and develop a blueprint for their work. For longer story problems, these graphic organizers will train your students to reread and to make note of important information.

The pages in this resource will work with any multi-paragraph word problems. You might even want to try having your students write some of their own!

Great for at home learning!

PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE NO WORD PROBLEMS OR STORY PROBLEMS INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE. There are longer story problems available as a separate purchase: CeeCee Math Problem Solving Bundle

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Mathematically proficient students start by explaining to themselves the meaning of a problem and looking for entry points to its solution. They analyze givens, constraints, relationships, and goals. They make conjectures about the form and meaning of the solution and plan a solution pathway rather than simply jumping into a solution attempt. They consider analogous problems, and try special cases and simpler forms of the original problem in order to gain insight into its solution. They monitor and evaluate their progress and change course if necessary. Older students might, depending on the context of the problem, transform algebraic expressions or change the viewing window on their graphing calculator to get the information they need. Mathematically proficient students can explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs or draw diagrams of important features and relationships, graph data, and search for regularity or trends. Younger students might rely on using concrete objects or pictures to help conceptualize and solve a problem. Mathematically proficient students check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, "Does this make sense?" They can understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between different approaches.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Mathematically proficient students make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. They bring two complementary abilities to bear on problems involving quantitative relationships: the ability to decontextualize-to abstract a given situation and represent it symbolically and manipulate the representing symbols as if they have a life of their own, without necessarily attending to their referents-and the ability to contextualize, to pause as needed during the manipulation process in order to probe into the referents for the symbols involved. Quantitative reasoning entails habits of creating a coherent representation of the problem at hand; considering the units involved; attending to the meaning of quantities, not just how to compute them; and knowing and flexibly using different properties of operations and objects.
