In Mrs. Landers’ class, students are tackling story problems with unknowns by slowing down, making sense of the situation, and planning a strategy. They identify what they’re solving for, use number bonds and strip diagrams to represent their thinking, write an equation to match the story, and solve with confidence.
Even better? They can explain how they solved it. From “I know the unknown is…” to complete-sentence answers, these students are showing strong problem-solving skills, perseverance, and mathematical reasoning in action. Way to go! 👏
