Obsessed!

I think I have become obsessed with problem solving!  My class this year seems to really enjoy being challenged, and they do a fantastic job so it just makes it fun to teach!
I was searching for some strategy charts to display, and although I found some great ones, nothing seemed just right.  So I created some!  I chose the strategies that our curriculum teaches to start with, but I may add others later.
Here they are if you would like to use them.  I made 2 versions because I am very indecisive this morning!
Download here.  Note:  Google docs does not show the chevron background but it's there when printed.

Download here.
Clip art is mostly from Scrappin Doodles and Thistle Girl Designs.
Hope you can use these!

      My kids actually cheer when I tell them to take out their math journals! We are having a lot fun solving problems together.

      Thanks for visiting! The funny thing about me being so obsessed with problem solving and math in general is that I spent about 9 years as a reading intervention teacher and language arts coach. But since returning to first grade I have fallen in love with teaching math!
