This product is intended to be used in a classroom modeled after Peter Liljedahl’s book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics.

Launch Script: Slide 3-5. This is the mini lesson. It should be quick, 10 minutes.

Consolidation: Slide 6. Wrap up the lesson after tasks. This is like a second mini lesson. Have students gather around and possibly walk the room to show varying strategies used by classmates.

Notes: Slides 7-8. This page is intended to be printed for students to write on and glue into journals or hole punched for a notebook.

This product is intended to be used in a classroom modeled after Peter Liljedahl’s book Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics.

Task cards: Slides 3-8 (answer sheet and key, slides 9-12) They can be laminated or paper copy to write on, table scoot, homework, game board cards, or team problem solving. They can also be used in a building thinking classroom. There are three types of questions which are marked in the bottom right corner with a snap cube. One snap cube is a type one (mild) question – one step strip diagrams with adding or subtracting, two snap cubes is a type two (medium) question – two step problems with adding or subtracting, and three snap cubes is a type three (spicy) question – one-step & multi-step equations and word problems with adding and/or subtracting and draw a strip diagram from an equation. There are so many options to use them with. There is a free game board located in my store, Sprout & Thrive.
