Problem+Solving

//Students make decisions about how to approach problems and communicate their ideas. Below are links to provide challenges that incorporate problems solving and communicating.//
// [|**The Jasper Series**] // **The Adventures of Jasper Woodbury** consists of [|12 videodisc-based] adventures (plus video based analogs, extensions and teaching tips) that focus on mathematical problem finding and problem solving. Each adventure is designed from the perspective of the standards recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). In particular, each adventure provides multiple opportunities for problem solving, reasoning, communication and making connections to other areas such as science, social studies, literature and history (NCTM, 1989; 1991). **Evaluation and Annotation**

**Smart Skies: Fly By Math** FlyBy MathTM consists of five Air Traffic Control (ATC) Problems. Each examines a different distance-rate-time air traffic scenario that an air traffic controller might encounter. Each Air Traffic Control Problem features a Student Workbook containing an air traffic control experiment, paper-and-pencil calculations to support the experiment, and a student analysis of the experiment and calculations. The Workbook can be supplemented with optional pre- and post-tests. The FlyBy MathTM curriculum materials also include video clips to introduce students to the nation’s air traffic control system. **Evaluation and Annotation**
