- B4 Bed Thoughts: *Let everyone see the 3 different math learning examples. Discuss: “What do you notice?”
- Next: Ask: “What do you not know?”
- Next: Choose one of the math examples. Discuss which patterns are visible in the chosen example. Ask: “How would you get started in solving these equations?”
- Materials: pass out paper and pencils or have them use the back of their learning journals for math thoughts). *Remind them to use a new page, add today’s date, and a title for the learning image. *Encourage the younger family members to draw what they think the answer might be.
- Show us…put your reasoning to the test! *Allow 10 minutes for each family member to copy and solve tonight’s equations.
- Finally: Ask each member to share what they believe a solution might be. Review what an active listener looks like.
