My last post included the end of my chapter as a CEP 811 student. I have now opened my new chapter at Michigan State University as a CEP 812 student. The beginning lesson of this course included defining problems of practice within my classroom and resources that can help.
The first step was to define a well-structured problem (in short, problems that have a right/wrong answer) and a complex problem. The well structured problem that I defined included adding and subtracting integers. The resource that I used to help enrich this problem is the National Virtual Library of Manipulatives, that I have passionately spoken about in the past. This would allow classrooms to have an entire class set of manipulatives of any type. In this particular case it would allow the students to see the relationships by using color chips.
My complex problem is much more in depth. I have explained it further with the following video:
Nice job Andrea! I have commented in the gradebook and submitted your grade there.
