Students who can both develop and carry out a plan to solve a mathematical problem are exhibiting knowledge that is much deeper and more useful than simply carrying out a computation. Unless students can solve problems, the facts, the concepts, and procedures they know are of little use.

Proficient Problem Solvers
What is Problem Solving?
3(1)(B) The student is expected to use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution.

Card C
I know that of a whole is less than of the same whole
because the numerators are the same. The pieces are
smaller for since the denominator is larger than the
denominator for . A larger denominator results in smaller
partitions.

Card E Card F
To multiply 56 x 9, I solved a simpler problem of 60 x 9, which is 540. Since I had 4 extra groups of 9, I needed to subtract 36 from my original product, which gave me 504.
To subtract 743-528, I first added two to each number. Then I subtracted the new numbers, 745-530. This helped me because I didn’t have to regroup to solve the new problem.
