Students in Ms. Herkert’s 5th grade Math class had to solve a word problem in three different ways. Each student in the group chose a different way to solve the problem. Students used methods such as writing an equation, using a number line, tape diagram, area model, place value chart, and number bonds. It was a great way to show there isn’t always one way to solve a problem.
