Identify Main Idea Implied Main Idea Supporting Details

bull The main idea of math problem can be thought of as the skill to solve it

bull Students often need to use the information in the details (facts)to make an inference

bull Example Liam is replacing the tiles in his foyer He is using 1 square foot tiles The entry is 6 feet by 6 feet How many tiles does he need for the foyer (area problem)

Make an Inference or Draw a Conclusion

bull Math problems often need more than what is explicitly written

bull Example Samantha and 3 friends went to Pizza Palace They all chose the buffet combo meal for lunch Each buffet combo meal is $450 How much did they pay for lunch

bull $1350 No There are 4 people

Pythagoras Greek 650 PropertyRight trianglesHypotenuseLegsAreaSquareSum

bull Story Prediction

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who lived in 650 BC He is credited with discovering the property of right triangles The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle the other two sides are called legs What makes his Pythagorean Theorem so cool is the area of a square drawn on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the area of the two squares drawn on the legs

Problematic Perspectives

You recently acquired a job with Alaska Air in their European division You are excited and ready to prove your abilities The first task you are assigned is to determine the average speed of a new plane which might be brought into the line It took 2 frac12 hours in its test flight which covered 1280 kilometers Is its average speed better or worse than the planes already used which fly 2500 kilometers in 3 hours

What will you do first 2nd 3rd Later Why What will your reportrsquos conclusion be

mathematical truth Put a check under ldquoUnlikelyrdquo if you believe it has no mathematical truth Be ready to explain your choices

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who lived in 650 BC He is credited with discovering the property of right triangles The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle the other two sides are called legs What makes his Pythagorean Theorem so cool is the area of a square drawn on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the area of the two squares drawn on the legs
