Geometry Problem Solving for Interactive Notebooks or Math Journals

Applying problem solving stragies to geometry word problems can be a challenge for students. While story problems are a huge part of math instruction, many students don't have adequate exposure to how their understanding of the attributes of shapes can help them with multi-step word problems involving area and perimeter and many other types of story problems.

There are 12 geometry-focused word problems in this pack. Skills practiced in this pack include:

• Identifying attributes of 2D and 3D shapes
• Applying knowledge of geometrical attributes to problem solve
• Calculating area
• Calculating perimeter
• Applying knowledge of area and perimeter to mult-step problems
• Finding missing side lengths of regular 2D shapes.

Each problem is provided in three formats to allow for personalized implementation. A full-page prompt is provided for display and discussion. This version includes a photograph to engage learners. This is available as a display in a slideshow as well.

A small and large version of each prompt are included. These are designed to be glued into interactive math notebooks.

There are also templates provided to help students break down problems using 4-step problem solving strategy designed to help students attack word problems more effectively.
