K-2nd Problem Solving: Earning Money (+, x)

Nothing makes our teacher-hearts happier than when our kiddos experience that amazing feeling of success after persevering through a challenge!

You know the one.

The "A-ha! I-did-it-I-did-it-I-did-it!!!" feeling usually accompanied by fists in the air and a few celebratory jumps.

Yep, that's the goal and the problem we are sharing today, along with your Math Stackers, is just the challenge to bring this oh-so-good feeling to your classroom!

Are you thinking, "My students not ready to independently work through a problem like this"?

NO PROBLEMO!

Just like you read books to your class, that they would not necessarily read on their own, in order to open their minds to the world of reading...you can do this very same thing with math!

And we challenge you to do so! Take some time to talk about this problem with your students (or one that is appropriately challenging for their age) and work through it together, building what you know and then manipulating to find the solution.

This is a great way to increase their math reasoning oodles and celebrate the feeling of success together!

Look at all of that reasoning! I mean just gaze upon all of those beautiful math connections!

This is what happens when you build math thinking with Math Stackers! If you don’t yet have a learning system, get a quote for your school today! Click here for our quote form.
