The purpose of this activity is for students to see the different story problem posters their classmates made. After the Gallery Walk, students have a chance to make revisions to their own posters. This could be making corrections, but it could also be adding new details or different representations based on what they learned from seeing the other posters. Some students might need guidance with asking mathematical questions or leaving feedback using precise math language (MP3, MP6).
Consider asking or displaying:
-
“Mencionen algo que hayan leído o visto que les haya ayudado a entender el problema-historia” // “What is something you read or saw that helped you understand the story problem?”
-
“Mencionen algo que el autor del póster podría agregar o cambiar para hacer que el problema sea más claro” // “What is something the writer could add or change to help make the problem more clear?”
-
“Mencionen algo que hayan visto que ayudó a aclarar cómo se resolvió el problema” // “What is something you saw that made it clear how the problem was solved?”
-
“Mencionen algo que se puede agregar o cambiar para que el método del autor del póster sea más claro” // “What is something that could be added or changed to make the writer’s method more clear?”
-
“¿Qué preguntas tienen sobre el problema-historia o la solución?” // “What questions do you have about the story problem or the solution?”
The goal of the Activity Synthesis is to reflect on how the posters were the same and how they were different.
MLR7 Compare and Connect. Synthesis: After the Gallery Walk, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches to solving the problems. Ask, “¿Qué tuvieron en común las estrategias? ¿En qué fueron diferentes?” // “What did the approaches have in common?”, “How were they different?” To amplify student language and illustrate connections, follow along and point to the relevant parts of the displays as students speak.
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest. Revisit math community norms to prepare students for the Gallery Walk. Give examples of appropriate comments and ways to agree or disagree with peers’ work. Be sure students are ready for a whole-class discussion during the Lesson Synthesis as well.
