These teachers have been meeting with mathematicians to discuss their work on problem solvers. They created math problems for the class to solve. After, they met with groups who needed support to move from a 2 to a 3. Then, they met with small groups and taught them how to move from a 3 to a 4.

Others are working hard to create problem solvers so they can be the teacher!

Wow! Grading student papers is a lot of work!

This is some of our work from multiples of 10.
