Answer: “The largest number is
98 because it has the greatest number of tens.”

Daily Activities

Daily problem solving will allow children to explore, to justify, and to validate their reasoning skills. The resource list below has many different types of problems that a teacher can choose from. Choosing problems that have relevance to children is an important factor in creating enthusiasm for problem solving. Often, the enthusiasm of the teacher translates into a positive disposition toward problem solving for children. If statements like “Now that’s an unusual problem. I wonder how we can find the answer,” are part of a teachers’ repertoire, children get the notion that problem solving is interesting and they are encouraged to use their own resources to find a path to the solution. Teachers should encourage children to share their strategies and accept many different paths to the same solution. The teacher can model this behavior by thinking aloud, using many of the same techniques used during a shared writing lesson. The two books listed below are excellent resources for the first semester:
