PDF Level 3-4- Make a List - Presentation

Pdf Summary

The document outlines a lesson plan for Math Kangaroo Class Level 3-4, focusing on the strategy of "Making an Organized List." This strategy helps solve problems by organizing data into lists to track all possible cases and avoid repetition, often used in mathematical "casework." The lesson begins with a warm-up problem asking how many three-digit numbers have a digit sum of 5, illustrating the need for systematic listing.<br /><br />A 4-step problem-solving strategy is introduced, encouraging understanding, planning, execution, and reflection to solve problems effectively.<br /><br />The roadmap for the course includes various problem-solving strategies like finding patterns, drawing diagrams, making tables, and using logical reasoning, among others.<br /><br />The lesson provides a series of practice problems employing the strategy:<br />1. Adding matches to form 11 squares.<br />2. Forming two numbers to achieve the maximum sum.<br />3. Planning zoo tours without starting with a lion.<br />4. Calculating different numbers from given cards.<br />5. Dividing glass bells into equal-priced packages.<br />6. Determining impossible scores in soccer games.<br />7. Finding three-digit numbers with digits summing to 4.<br /><br />Bonus questions challenge students further, such as using digits to sum to a specific number with the fewest numbers.<br /><br />The session concludes with a wrap-up where students discuss the effectiveness of making organized lists, share challenges faced, and explore creative problem-making during "genius hour." This encourages students to reflect on when this strategy is beneficial, how it was applied in class, and allows them to create and critique problems collaboratively.
