Problem Based Training

I was first introduced to problem based math lessons when I was in school. They are the best way to go when you want children to construct their own knowledge and become critical thinkers.
I loved the training I attended this evening that focused on this method. The presenter gave us a great lesson plan format for a problem based focus.

1. Before questions
2. During questions
3. After questions

Cute template is soon to come but until then take a look at this cool problem that will get 4th graders thinking critically about comparing fractions!!!
