What Is a Problem String?
A problem string is a purposeful sequence of related problems, designed to help students mentally construct mathematical relationships. It is a powerful lesson structure during which teachers and students interact to construct important mathematical strategies, models, and concepts. The power of a problem string lies in the carefully crafted conversation as students solve problems, one at a time, and the teacher models student thinking and draws out important connections and relationships.
