Questions/instructions:

In this activity you will be thinking about some problems and different ways of solving those problems.

For each of the four problems, there will be some options for solving them. I want you to make a decision about each option. You will need to decide if it is a good choice or a bad choice for solving the problem.

We will look at the problems one at a time, and the options for dealing with them. If you think the option is a good choice, tick the “good choice” column.If you think it’s a bad choice, tick the “bad choice” column. If you just can’t make up your mind, you can tick the “not sure” column.

Use the following sequence for each of the 4 scenarios. Complete each scenario before starting the next.

Read the problem to the student, then each of the options. After each option has been read, ask the student to decide which column they will tick.

Once all options have been considered for the scenario, say:

There could be other good ways for trying to solve the problem. See if you can think of another good way, and I’ll write it in the blank space.

Now look at all of the options that you have ticked as good choices. Choose one that you think is the best choice.

Why do you think that is the best choice?

Now let’s look at the ones you’ve ticked as “not sure”. Why didn’t you choose “good choice” or “bad choice” for those ones?

Repeat the sequence with each of the 4 scenarios.

Commentary
About 20 percent more year 8 than year 4 students gave ‘strong’ explanations for their preferred actions. While there was little change between 1998 and 2002 for year 4 students, there was a modest increase for year 8 students.
