MLR 6: 3 Reads Strategy

Students are guided to read the problem three separate times for three separate purposes, with quick discussions between each read. This MLR helps students think metacognitively about their math problem-solving.

Giving students a purpose to read helps to focus students to identify:

• The context of the mathematical situation

• Relationships that exist within that context

• Strategies that can be used to answer the question using the problem context.
