Info About The Problem of the Day

    Each day the students will be given a word problem to complete in class. The purpose of these daily word problems is to provide each child with vital practice that will aid them in problem solving skills. This will ultimately improve their ability to solve word problems – the basis of seventh grade math objectives, as well as abilities required to master skills presented on the MCT2. The students have been provided with a folder that must be kept in the classroom. This will ensure that students do not lose any of the work they have completed.

    After students complete each Problem of the Day, we will go over every step required to solve the problem in class. They will be allowed to have highlighters or pens to correct any errors they made. Therefore, EVERYONE should have the CORRECT answers to each problem for the final test grade. At the end of each nine weeks, the students will be required to simply copy the work they completed for a few specific problems. This will be scored as a TEST grade. For each problem, they will be required to include the following components: the facts, question posed, work completed, answer, and justification. I have included an example question from the Problem of the Day Test 1:

   Show the work you did to solve problem number 12.
