Timberline PK-8 teacher Ambera DeLash helped incoming second graders solve word problems last week during her Project Launch summer class, reviewing the math strategies they learned during the school year.
With the problem projected on the white board, the 15 students started by reading the problem out loud together and circling key information. Then DeLash asked them to write an equation, followed by drawing pictures, bubbles, a number line or tally marks to solve it. Finally, students volunteered to write their strategies on the board.
