Teachers, save “Explain Your Solution” to assign it to your class.

1. Your teacher will give you a problem to solve. 2. Solve the problem using strategy of choice. 3. Use words and sentences to explain how you solved the problem. Your explanations are NOT to include “I did it in my head.” Or “I used a calculator.” Or “I just know it.” Explain HOW to solve this problem as if you are giving directions to someone who does not know.
