Van de Walle ReadingChapter 2
• Refer back to chapter 2.• Highlight, record, or post the answer to the
following questions:• What do you AGREE with in the text?• What do you ARGUE with in the text?• What parts of the text do you want to ASPIRE
to?
Three A’s Text Protocol
• In a round, have each person identify one AGREE in the text, citing the text (with page numbers, if appropriate) as evidence.
• Go around the circle and repeat with ARGUE and ASPIRE.
• End the session with an open discussion framed around a question such as: What are the implications of this chapter on our instruction?

Maximizing our Instructional Maximizing our Instructional SituationsSituations
“Challenge Like” Problems Defined
Challenge Like problems are problems that…• combine math topics• contain a real-world context• are able to be solved in multiple ways
Objective
• To maximize our instructional situations through the use of creative problems (i.e. “challenge like” problems).
Why use “challenging problems”?Characteristics of “Challenge like” problems :
• COMPLEX: are thoughtful, purposeful, and intellectually demanding• AMBIGUOUS: allow for “multiple entry points” and can have more
than one solution • PROVOCATIVE: deliberately aimed at stimulating student interest
and curiosities• ENGAGING: are student-centered• CHALLENGING: designed for greater intellectual demand• Personally or Emotionally Challenging: challenges the learner to
confront and think about situations, beliefs, philosophies, cultures, and behaviors that are unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable
Use them because they are RIGOROUS!

This makes my brain think…
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream is sold in pint containers. So…how many pints of Ben &
Jerry’s Ice Cream did it take to build this
27,102 pound sundae?
Your Task…
As a group be able to answer this question:
How many pints of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream would it take to build a 27,102 pound
sundae?
Brainstorm
• What are we going to need to know to solve this problem?
• How could this help us to solve this problem?
Your Group’s TaskFind the total number of pints needed to build the
sundae.Create a chart/poster/presentation that explains the
process your group went through to come up with an answer.
Show how your answer was calculated.Be sure to organize any data collected into a chart,
graph, or table.Credit your sources of information.Explain what each person contributed to the final
product.
Resources Needed
• Internet: BEN & JERRY'S WEBSITE• Calculators• Math to Know• Chart Paper• Converting Grams to Pounds– Multiply the grams x 0.0022 get the number of lbs.
• Mini-lesson offerings: – How to find mean, median, and mode– How to convert units (pints, cups, quarts, gallons)

3.C.2 Calculate equivalent measurements4.A.1 Collect, organize, and display data4.A.2 Describe a set of data (median, mean,
mode)6.A.1 Apply knowledge of whole numbers and
place value6.A.2 Apply knowledge of fractions & decimals6.C.1 Analyze number relations and compute
How does using “challenge like” problems help me maximize my
instructional situation?
• Allows you to assess what math content knowledge students have.
• Allows you to see which students can apply their math content knowledge.
• Allows you to pull small groups for remediation.
• Allows you to assessment “stand
