Educators can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills for their students by asking strategically planned questions during lessons.
Design an original multiplication mathematics lesson plan for 3rd grade that promotes critical thinking and problem solving. Use the attached lesson plan template.
In the Multiple Means of Expression section, include five questions that align to the lesson objective the teacher can pose to students.
The questions should:
Activate prior knowledge.
Identify potential student misconceptions that could interfere with learning.
Connect concepts, procedures, and applications.
Encourage critical thinking, exploration, and problem-solving.
In the Multiple Means of Engagement section include opportunities for students to consider real-world application, prior knowledge, and the steps to solve a problem.
