A webquest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information you need to use is already
provided. By providing these links necessary to complete the quest, you will be able to focus on the material rather
than spend time looking for it. There are five parts to a WebQuest; Introduction, Task, Resources, Process, Evaluation,
and Conclusion.

The Wonder of Word Problems
Introduction
Do you know how to read and
solve word problems? This web-based unit will introduce you to strategies and real-life practice activities for applying problem-solving
skills. You will investigate real problems through a variety of websites and group activities. You will become
familiar with strategies and will practice using these strategies to use the Internet to obtain information, analyze data,
make decisions, and apply problem-solving skills to find solutions to real-life situations. Specific indicators which
are reinforced through this unit include:
|
|
-
You will
apply guess-and-check, find-a-pattern, draw-a-diagram, and other problem-solving strategies to develop inductive and deductive
thinking. |
|
|
-
You will
use mathematical reasoning to solve and check routine or innovative problems that require varying amounts of time, involve
cooperative and independent tasks, and have no, one, or multiple solutions. |
|
|
-
You will
choose from mental mathematics, estimation, algorithms, diagrams, and calculators to solve various types of problems appropriately. |
