This year, I only have one math center. My students are either with me in a small group, or they are at Problem Solving Path. They work through their Problem Solving Path Math Journals in pairs or groupings of their own choosing. They love this independence, and I love promoting real world math thinking and discussion, so it’s a win-win.
This is our Problem Solving Path Bulletin Board. You can grab all the pieces free in the Problem Solving Place Bulletin Board Kit I recently uploaded to my Teachers Pay Teachers store. The bulletin board contains 10 “stores”: post office, pizzeria, supermarket, hardware store, police station, train station, elementary school, pharmacy, book store and bakery. I tried to choose places that are universal in purpose to neighborhoods around the world, even though they may look different.
Each of the “stores” in Problem Solving place has real-life word problems that are correlated to both the UK and the US standards. (That correlation was time consuming, but definitely beneficial to my students!) We have completed Month 1 and are now working on Month 2. If you’d like to use Problem Solving Path, feel free to grab the problems from my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
