The three R’s is a math procedure to be used in problem solving. This protocol engages students to create a deeper understanding of the problem and relate it more to a real-world situation. Encouraging students to verbalize their thinking, create their thinking using manipulatives, and reason through their thinking deepens understanding in problem solving. Included: * Teacher Protocol Checklist * Color student / classroom poster * B & W student poster

This SmartBoard lesson includes everything you need for Representing and Interpreting Data based on standard 1.MD.4. I use this over a period of a week when teaching this unit. Students are able to represent data and answer questions based on data collected. Questions included are: -Will you drink milk with your lunch today?

Prepare a small baggie of candies for each child or use the "fun size" bags for easier preparation. Have stations set up or have these items available at tables for students to use: * Connecting cubes
