KWL Charts for Math Problem Solving (Inspired by Guided Math)

As most of you know, I am participating in the Book Study for Guided Math:  A Framework for Mathematics Instruction through the Primary Gal this summer.  The previous chapter discussed whole-group instruction in the mathematics classroom.  If you didn’t read it, be sure to check my blog post over chapter four out here. 

One idea that stood out to me in the chapter was the use of KWL charts in problem solving.  In fact, I loved this idea so much that I decided I wanted to use it as a tool for my students when introducing problem solving next school year. 

So….I did what any crazy teacher would do and immediately started making up materials for it.  If you have been following my blog, then you know I use a flipped mathematics classroom.  (If you haven’t been following my blog, why not?!?!)  Last night I made a video lesson for using KWL charts in problem solving.  The video follows the same format as most of my videos:  introduce topic, examples, OYO (On Your Own) problems.
