Math is Everywhere...Even in Stories

My students were posed the following statement:

Math is Everywhere...Even in Stories. Do you agree or disagree? Find Evidence.

See, Think, and Wonder

We watched the story, "Moira's Birthday" by Robert Munsch and students were asked to "see, think, and wonder" if math was present in the story. 

Investigate

Through the use of a story, students were provided a context to solve an open-ended question.

In groups, they worked together to investigate and show evidence of their thinking.

Marketplace Cooperative Sharing Strategy

Taking turns, half of the group "Marketplaced" their knowledge by presenting the strategies they used to solve the problem, while the other half reflected and provided comments on the groups' use of their strategies.
