Improving Mathematical Problem Solving in Grades 4 through 8: Instructional Tips Based on the Educator's Practice Guide
What Works Clearinghouse
Instructional tips help educators carry out recommendations contained in IES Educator's Practice Guides. The tips translate these recommendations into actionable approaches that educators can try in their classrooms. These tips are based on a practice guide authored by Sybilla Beckmann, Mark Driscoll, Megan Franke, Patricia Herzig, Asha Jitendra, Kenneth R. Koedinger, Philip Ogbuehi, and John Woodward. Each set of instructional tips highlights a key concept and presents relevant how-to steps in the practice guide that are actionable and supported by evidence. [For the full practice guide, see ED532215. For "Improving Mathematical Problem Solving in Grades 4 through 8: Summary of Evidence for Instructional Tips Based on the Educator's Practice Guide" see ED574967.]
