3 Act math is a FABULOUS problem solving framework! It's called 3 act Math because there are 3 phases...first we HOOK our mathematicians with a video or picture presenting a problem, then we ask them what information we know, or need to solve the problem, finally we send them off with minimal information and let them think through the problem and how they are going to solve it! This problem was about a cookie monster! If you want to watch the HOOK video here it is...
We come together at the end and share out our strategies! They are recorded on chart paper so the kiddos can reference their awesomeness or their peers awesomeness for later problems! They LOVE to be the teachers! It helps keep them engaged to listen to their peers and gives them the opportunity to lead a discussion and explain their thinking!
