Second Quarter
Each “Problem of the Day” is correlated to our Cumberland County Task
Analysis for the purpose of practicing each objective through problem solving.
Each problem will be either a performance task, short answer, or multiple
choice which allows students to work with problems through many avenues.
When using “Problem of the Day” provide students with manipulatives (which
may include a calculator) and a mathematics journal. Expect that each student
solves the problems and records his/her answer in a math journal. Students
should include his/her answer along with a number sentence, a unit, a drawing
(proof picture), and a written explanation of how the problem was solved.
After students have time to solve the problem, students should discuss solution
strategies with their team. Following team discussions review the correct
answer, the reason it is correct and in the case of multiple choice answers
review why answers are incorrect.
Special thanks to the third grade members of the Mathematics
Leadership Team: Kelly McKoy, Kayonna Pitchford, Dawne Coker and
Suzanna Faliogon who worked so hard to make these problems possible.
