Give several examples of how teachers can help students to develop and use problem-solving strategies across the math curriculum. Also, explain three ways to integrate math into other content areas. Do not use the following examples, which were provided in a multiple-choice question above: Connor computes the speed of the school's internet connection. Tara calculates the perimeter of a skyscraper. Austin estimates how long it will take to get to Jupiter if he travels at light speed. Lucy determines the number of miles a character travels in a short story.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers may include the key steps of strategy instruction (e.g., step-by-step presentation of strategies, modeling of strategies, use of visual representations) or specific steps in the process of teaching problem-solving skills. Answers may also include the Solve It! or FAST DRAW strategies. Essays should additionally describe three ways to integrate math into other content areas. Students should not use the integrated activities in multiple choice question #28 (computing speed of school's internet connection, calculating perimeter of a skyscraper, estimating distance at light speed, and determining miles driven by a story character).
