Problem Solving Graphic Organizer
Students learn to think their way through problem solving with this graphic organizer.
I make a ton of copies of this at the beginning of the year. While I know our copies are precious, I have found it to be worth it. Once students are familiar with the process, they don't have to use it as much or they use a short hand version on scrap paper. I also always keep a stack in my problem solving center. If your worried about copies, laminating them and using the thin vis-a-vis markers work wonderf

This sheet includes self-reflection questions that ask students to think about a negative behavior they have engaged in and respond to their reasoning behind the incident and what they can do to prevent future outbursts.

Problem Solving Boards
When students work to solve larger problems, we often encourage the use of the Polya model which includes Understanding the problem (break it down into what you need to do), Plan the process (choose a strategy and the steps you will need to take to solve it), Solve the problem (execute the plan and adjust as needed), and Check the problem (check that your answer makes sense and that the math is executed correctly). I've used several different ways to have students carry this out over my teachin

Student-completed Behavior Monitoring Checklist
I use this checklist for data collection and student self monitoring. Prior to class, I discuss the process with the student. If I am seeing a disruptive behavior during class, I will grab a pre-printed checklist, write the behavior on the top of the sheet (for instance, blurting or getting out of seat) and place it in front of the student. If the behavior continues, I will simply point or nod to the student every time the behavior occurs. The student should then mark down every instance. Af

Included is a Think Sheet download that is best used with older kiddos who can properly fill out the form and be held accountable for return.
