





Be purposeful when planning lessons to include challenging
mathematical tasks that elicit the Mathematics Practices in
their students.
Focus on representations for solving problems.
Work with all addition/subtraction/multiplication/division
problem-solving structures.
Focus on problem solving strategies and avoid key word
approaches.
Monitor problem solving instructional progress.
Differentiate instruction and utilize small group instruction.
Use multiple means of assessment including observation and
paper/pencil assessment.
Note: The included assessment can be used to support this SLO. It is optional. Another
assessment can be created using assessment tasks aligned to the standards identified in the
Learning Content row on the previous page.
