Window Washing

In third grade we LOVE problem strings! Problem strings are a set of carefully sequenced questions that are designed to help guide students towards a more efficient way to solve a particular kind of problem.  Problem strings focus heavily on making connections between the questions. We know that the first problem is meant to be a little bit easy, because it is going to help us solve more challenging questions coming up. 

This is an example of a problem string we did on Wednesday. The first and second problem (5x4 and 4x4) helped us solved 9x4 in an efficient way!
