Lucas solves the Race Problem
  • Comments: I like the way that Lucas solved the problem with a chart because I can see it really clear and it gives the information that you need. I also like the way that Lucas explained the question and the answer because he said the words that were important. Rylan
  • Very nice Lucas. You explained the problem very well and I really understood the problem too. I say that because you spoke very cleary and I really understood every word you said. Brandon
  • GREAT JOB LUCAS!!!!!!!!!! I loved how you explained your problem in such an understanding way and articulated all of your words. Maybe just slow it down and think about what you are saying instead of um and then i um. Rhys

    Celine solves the same Race Problem
  • I really liked this problem because of the explaination that Celine said because it it was easy to follow and there wasn't a lot of extra facts and she only said what was important.
  • Nicole
  • I like this problem because the picture that Celine drew really helps get the answer and I also thought the write up was awesome because it told who got gold, silver, and bronze, if those two people took a second longer. Julian
  • Go Celine! You had a great explanation and the pictures were great! You had a nice and clear voice through out the thread.

Brianna solves burger problem
  • I liked how she uses a table to organize the information because that is my favourite strategy in Problem Solving because I like the table because it is easy to understand. The problem is very organized and is easy to understand because I can see the information and can clearly understand how she got the answer. That was one of the very first problems we did and I understood it just fine. Lucas
  • Amazing Brianna! I liked how she used the white lines to show us that there were four burgers with everything on them. She did a very good explanation and she was very very clear in her words! She did a very neat job too and that was easier to see and understand! It was also very organized because it had very equal and neat columns.
  • Celine
You were very clear while explaining.Your chart was very neat. I liked how she drew on the rows of three with a white marker.

Nicole's Elevator problem
  • Comments I thought it was really cool how she solved this problem because she kept it all organized and easy to folow. She used the strategy make a picture or diagram. Brianna
    I think that the problem was very neatly done and she took the time to write down the doors one by one.It was also easy to understand the problem becuase she did not squish it altogether . If she would of squished it altogether I would not of got it as well as I did.She also used a really easy strategy callled make an picture or a diagram.You did a wonderful job with this problem.

    Julian's Lawn Problem
  • Woohoo Julian, you did very well on your response. You explained everything of how you got the answer. Just a suggestion, when you're explaining, just take it slow and easy when your talking into the microphone. I also would of enjoyed it more if you circled more things so I can catch on to what you're saying. Awesome job Julian! Chan

  • I thought Julian did very well and he was very descriptive with the problem. He also told you every think he did! For example, he circled the picture so you would see it and he pointed out everything. Very good Julian.
