Problem Solvers: Solutions--Playing Basketball
Smith, Jeffrey
Teaching Children Mathematics, v20 n7 p412-414 Mar 2014
In this article, fourth grade Upper Allen Elementary School (Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania) teacher Jeffrey Smith describes his exploration of the Playing Basketball activity. Herein he describes how he found the problem to be an effective way to review concepts associated with the measurement of elapsed time with his students. Additionally, it proved to be an effective way to emphasize the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP) found in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) (CCSSI 2010).
