WHY PROBLEM SOLVING?
• knowing how to execute procedures does not mean students truly understand what they are doing• to understand, the students must get inside
the topic• understanding something really is fun
(admit it!)• lifelong learning – we know how fulfilling it
is• what research says—handout – Ch. 16

REFLECTION
Sarah is planning a rectangular garden. She has 198 square feet of pea gravel to create a three-foot wide walkway around her garden. Her garden will be twice as long as it is wide. What are the dimensions of Sarah’s garden? Reflection: 1. Describe how you felt when given this task to solve. Be specific when describing your feelings of frustration or how you felt when you were successful. You have the freedom to include anything about Ms. Aldy’s role in the process.
