Teacher Guide
Engage: THINK ALOUD
 Teacher will introduce the daily problem of the day to
solve.
 The teacher will guide the students through each step
of the problem of the day.

The students may use manipulatives, drawings and
other concrete materials to extend the thinking
processes.
 The students may work together in pairs to
completed steps in the problem solving process.
If time allows, continue with problem of the
day using IN Curriculum Framework Lesson,
Not So Secret Formulas which will engage
students in working with perimeter and area.
