At the end our session, the answers to the problems were discussed, the steps for attacking word problems were reviewed and the students’
questions were answered.
The following are some of the comments the children made
during this cooperative session:
“I feel better organized about how to attack word problems.”
“My fifth grade partners had some great strategies for figuring out what
to do when they’re stuck.”
“Reading a problem carefully and underlining key words really helps.”
“Good thing we checked our answer, because we had forgotten a
part of the directions.”
The students decided that they are now ready to be sharks as they attack the math components of their CMTs. |
