1.) Students will demonstrate
a variety of successful strategies when solving multi-step problems such
as the following:
Every day at noon a ship leaves San Francisco
for Tokyo, and at that same instant a ship leaves Tokyo for San Francisco.
Each trip lasts exactly eight days. How many Tokyo ships will each San
Francisco ship meet?
On a string of 33 pearls, the middle pearl is
the largest and most expensive of all. Starting from one end, each pearl
is worth 4100 more than the one before, up to the middle. From the other
end, each pearl is worth $150 more than the one before, up to the middle.
The string of pearls is worth $65,000. What is the value of the middle
pearl?

1.) Students will solve open ended
problems from a variety of sources, preferably with specific rubrics developed
in the class or by the teacher.
