=Welcome to the math website of MEC and CEC!=

To talk about the problem solving problem on which you are currently working, click on your grade in the navigation bar to your left. You should see the current problem solving problem on that page. To discuss, click on the Discussion tab. Click on New Post or click on someone else's post to respond to what they discussed.

When you discuss: 1. Keep your **focus on the mathematics** of the problem and the problem solving strategies used to solve the problem. 2. **Use proper English** (not texting language...lol!) and make every attempt to spell words correctly. 3. **Be positive** in your responses, but don't be afraid to question a problem. Additionally, you may provide **constructive criticism** (see below)if you feel that there are errors in the response. 4. If there are already posts about solving a particular problem, read them before posting your solution. If the method that you used for your solution has already been discussed, **attempt to come up with an alternate way to solve the problem** and present that solution. 5. **Give reasons** in your discussion. If you say that you don't feel a solution is correct, tell why. If you say that you really like a particular solution, say why. But remember, focus on the mathematics! 6. **Use proper mathematic terminology** whenever possible (it will make your response sound super smart!!). Use this site to find math terms: //Math Dictionary for Kids//

What is constructive criticism? Constructive criticism is giving suggestions that will help your classmates make their work even better. Constructive criticism "builds up", not "tears down" the feelings of your classmates. =media type="custom" key="11309768"=
