PUZZLING
During the next two weeks
we will be solving and understanding multiplication puzzles.

WHY?
Importance Outside of School

Multiplication is a necessary skill to solve real-life situations and is a building block to other kinds of more difficult puzzle problems.

IOS
Buying multiples of one product at the store. Baking cookies. Planning a sleepover.

PUZZLING
In an hour
You will have been able to solve a multi-digit multiplication problem with a partner expressing your answer in multiple different ways. (solving, drawing, explaining)

Today
1. Stop the Clock A Puzzling Game Show
WHY?

It is important to review concepts you already learned or just recently learned to help make connections between old and new information.

2. Partner Puzzle Problem

WHY?

Learning to explain our solutions in multiple ways holds us accountable for our learning. It gives us an opportunity to understand it better.

3. Gallery Walk We get better in our own puzzling skills when we look at how WHY? other people solved the problem and compared it to how we solved it.

RULES OF THE GAME 1. This is a SILENT game. A talking team member gets a +5 second penalty added to their teams score. 2. If you are at the white board, you may use a level 1 voice (whisper voice) to discuss the answer with your partner. 3. The host must approve your answer before you leave the board. 4. When you finish answering your question correctly, you must erase the board completely. 5. You may not cross the line until the clock has switched.

How else could I keep track of the score? Have you ever used points in other games to keep score? Which ones?

PARTNER PUZZLE PROBLEM

Playing Stop the Clock is a lot of fun but the host wants to add a new element to the game. He was thinking of adding points for every correct answer. If each question is worth 15 points and your team answered 13 questions correctly, how many total points would he have to give your team?

SOLVE IT DRAW IT DRAW IT ANOTHER WAY WRITE IT
