4. EXAMPLE:
Peter ordered 24 boxes of baseballs. Each box contained 16 baseballs. Peter used 8 of these baseballs during a game. Which equation can be used to find b, the total number of these baseballs that Peter did not use during the game?5.4B
b = ( ) – 8
b = (24 x 16) – 8
b = (24 – 16) ÷ 8
b = (24 x 16) + 8

9. Model Drawing Example Problem
Diego had $400. He put half of his money in the bank. He spent of the remainder on
groceries. How much money does Diego have left?

10. Model Drawing Example Problem
Diego had $400. He put half of his money in the bank. He spent 2/5 of the remainder on groceries. How much money does Diego have left?
When we look at instruction that is immersed in problem solving there are changes that must occur in our classroom routines. The next few slides will just take us through the differences in teaching with a problem solving focus.
