Would You Rather

Grade 3 Mathematics
Routines - Would You Rather

Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP):  #1, #2, #3, #7Two-way sign

 

In this routine, students are given a scenario with two choices and use their number sense to make a choice and justify their reasoning. Teachers should take answers from multiple students.  Teachers should create a t-chart to track student responses for both choices. As students share their answers, teachers should facilitate discussion among their class. 

Possible questions to facilitate discussion are:  

  • Does anyone have a question or comment for . . .?  
  • How are these two similar or different?  
  • What if  (teacher makes a change to one or both of the choices)?

Some scenarios come from the website:  http://www.wouldyourathermath.com/ Links to an external site.
