Do you need to get your kids solving problems and explaining their thinking without looking for that one right answer?

Try this Math Journal Rubric with your current math journals or take a look at the ones in my store for open ended thinking and problem solving.

Students work on these journal prompts once a day either independently, with a partner, or small groups. A majority of the prompts focus on open ended problem solving, so students will have multiple different answers. After solving the problem and showing their thinking, students learn the importance of being able to explain and justify their thinking during the share time that follows daily.

Math Journal Features: 

• 150 daily prompts 
• Full page option with space for students to show thinking or cut and paste version to use in an existing notebook 
• Black and white pages for easy duplication
