=Documenting a Problem Solving Protocol=

2) Use educreations, google docs or video to document the students using the model.
 * **Title**: ||< Problem Solving Protocol ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Math ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 7th ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< Ongoing ||
 * **Summary:** ||< Students will use a problem solving protocol to solve word problems. ||
 * **Task** ||< 1) The problem solving model will be taught.
 * Read the problem and think about it.
 * Draw a model
 * Identify key words and extra information
 * Determine the operation
 * Write a number sentence.
 * Estimate the answer.
 * Do the math to find the answer.

3) Create a rubric by which students assess themselves using the problem solving protocol.

4) When not working with a word problem and just working with a algorithm, the student will be able to explain the process and demonstrate a sample problem. || Students can see other's examples and compare to their own. Students can use rubrics to assess their protocol. Students will get feedback on a unit test. ||
 * Objectives: ||< * What TEKS or other objectives does this activity/lesson? Many, many TEKS. This is a great test taking strategy. ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning?
 * Resources: ||< * What resources will be needed? Learning how to share educreations, learning how to upload drawn models to google docs. ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || Please share what went well, what was challenging and what you might tweak or modify for your next round.... ||
 * **Examples**: ||< * Links to teacher or student work examples. ||
