Middle School Math Problem Solving Grades 6-8
| This online course for teachers is designed for educators in grades 6-8 who want to help their students become critical and logical mathematical thinkers. Information on the problem-solving process is shared together with distinct suggestions for incorporating specific problem-solving strategies into math instruction. The course begins by building problem-solving foundations such as how to break down a word problem, how to approach math vocabulary, and how to visualize and perform the problem. Then, specific strategies are shared such as thinking logically, predicting and estimating, using a model or diagram, creating a table to find a pattern, and using an algorithm or formula. Teachers will gain valuable classroom ideas including using manipulatives, developing real-world problems, and checking and explaining solutions. Teachers will gain strategies for differentiating their math instruction so that all students can find success in problem solving. Teachers will also learn how to appropriately assess students in the problem-solving process. Finally, ideas for connecting the math problem-solving process to other content areas will be shared.
