Launching Word Problems
The goal is to give students access to the problem while maximizing thinking opportunities and not doing the problem for them.
The Three Read Protocol is a mathematics and language comprehension strategy designed to help students make sense of the problem or task before setting out to solve it. This strategy includes reading a math scenario three times with a different goal each time. The first read is to understand the context. The second read is to understand the mathematics. The third read is to elicit inquiry questions based on the scenario. Student then work on solving the problem. This strategy can support English Language Learners.

What do teachers do during work time?
During student work time the teacher is circulating the class and questioning students. The goal with questioning is to understand what students know and use that understanding to guide your instruction.
If using a small group instruction model, the teacher would be pulling a small group while other students are working in rotation activities.

In each problem you will find a student work sheet. You will also find a powerpoint that will give you examples of student work you might anticipate seeing and facilitating questions. The slides are organized in a way to help you orchestrate a discussion about the strategy.
These place value problems are multiplication problems, which help students in primary grades practice base ten understanding.
Additional Equal Share Problems with Grade Level Suggestions
These equal sharing problems are partitive division problems, which is where all students should begin practicing partitioning fractional amounts.

Level 1: Recall and reproduction: Requires eliciting information such as a fact, definition, term, or a simple procedure, as well as performing a simple algorithm or applying a formula
Level 2: Basic Skills and Concepts: Requires the engagement of some mental processing beyond a recall of information
Level 3: Strategic Thinking and Reasoning: Requires reasoning, planning, using evidence, and explanations of thinking
Level 4: Extended Thinking: Requires complex reasoning, planning, developing, and thinking most likely over an extended period of time
