Problem Solving for All Students

I read this article tonight and had to share. The article examines some of the difficulties experienced by our LD math students with problem solving and proposes specific strategies to address those issues. As in most cases, when I read great ideas on how to help our ESL or our at-risk kids, I thought about how the same strategies would help all of the students in the class. I like the way the author, Dr. Marjorie Montague, Ph.D., gives specific examples of modeling/think alouds. I also love the idea that she proposes about how the "resource" teacher and the regular classroom teacher can work together to reach the needs of both the LD kids and the low performing students. http://www.k8accesscenter.org/training_resources/MathPrblSlving_upperelem.asp
