How many do I have in all? Please show me how to figure this out !
We have been studying math story
problems and today we are going to focus
on following steps mathematicians use to
solve tricky story problems!
Today I am wondering ...
What problem solving steps do
we need to solve problems that
have a pattern?
Candy Shop #1
Ally went to the candy store and grabbed a large bag to fill
with candy. There were 5 jars of yummy candy! At the
first jar she put in 2 pieces of candy in her bag. At the
second jar she put 4 pieces in the bag. At the third jar she
put in 6 pieces in the bag. If this pattern continues how
many pieces of candy will Ally have ALL TOGETHER after
she goes to 5 jars?

Do you think there is a pattern in this
problem?


Mathematicians what do you think we need

Today we used problems solving
skills to solve tricky pattern
story problems!
1. Highlight important parts that we need to
solve problem!
2. Think and plan - draw what your are thinking
3. Solve mathematically- example
___+ ___ = ____
4. Explain using math words- example
I added, I combined
5. I noticed
