Module Overview

In this module you will complete a full problem-solving lesson design and development that is broken down into three distinct parts: Lesson Foundations, Before, During, and After. You will be provided a lesson planning template that you can use to assist you in thinking more deeply about each section of the plan.

Learning Objectives

• Objective 1: Participants will be able to design a full problem-solving lesson to be implemented with their students that includes appropriate scaffolds, accommodations, and/or modifications that maintain the intended level of cognitive demand while at the same time provide equitable access to the mathematics.

• Objective 2: Participants will be able to receive and provide peer and facilitated feedback on lesson plans.

• Objective 3: Participants will be able to revise and implement lesson plans based on feedback.

Impact on Classroom Practice and Student Learning

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• design problem solving lessons for use in the classroom;

• assist students in developing problem solving strategies;

• teach through and for problem solving; and

• support students in persevering in problem solving.
