<p> Classroom PDSA “Do” Strategies</p><p>Teaching Strategies:  Model how to work out problems for students  Model strategies for students to assist in solving various math problems  Create a chart which shows students the key words to look for in word problems and their meanings  Give the class time to work in small groups with assistance from the teacher  Play the game “Beat the Teacher” to practice problems  Review the strategies learned during math at the end of each day  Conference with each student to ensure understanding of skill  Give “over the shoulder” feedback each day during math  Count to 100 with the class each day  Create focused problems for the class to practice each day  Give students time to work in groups or independently  Create a “step sheet” to demonstrate how problems are worked out  Use skill specific activities with the SMART board  Create “hands on” activities to help with understanding  Give the class time to play math games aligned to the focused skill  Teach the class the “TIPS” strategy for word problems (ask Ms. Goodwin)  Create a reference wall or reference folder (students create- using mnemonic devices)  Reflecting with students  Test-taking skills</p><p>Student learning strategies  Use mnemonic devices  Underline key words in word problems  Practice problems daily with a partner  Use tally marks to assist with understanding of addition  Use manipulatives (base ten blocks, clocks, cubes, etc.) to assist in solving problems or to help with understanding  Write your own math problems  Ruby Payne method  Work with a peer tutor who can show you how to work out the problem  Work on practice problems at home  Draw pictures to help solve problems  Use clocks &/or money to teach fractions  Create “cheat sheet” for reminders of strategies  Practice using flashcards  Use wipe boards to demonstrate understanding of concepts  Check each other’s homework and help those who need it  Create posters with math strategies  Create quiz questions for classmates  Get help from a math “expert” when you have a question</p>
