My Four Step Math Journal

“My Four Step Solution Journal” contains graph pages on the right and “Four Step Solution” templates on the left. This journal is designed to bring upper elementary and middle school students into the mathematical learning process and actively engage them in understanding math in both an academic context and the context of the real world. Writing about math, as they think through the process and document activities, is a great way for students to truly understand math. And the Four Step Solution template is a great tool for working through problems, in groups, pairs or alone. These interactive notebooks help students become creative independent thinkers, while providing just enough structure to foster confidence and move students towards math understanding.
