Thinking Outside the Jam (Gr 1-3 Math)

Ever been in a jam? Eric shares a secret to getting out of sticky situations. Try using different ways, creative thinking, and scrumptious strawberry jam on toast to feed your imagination. It's not magic... it's math! This episode introduces a dramatic problem solving strategy: acting it out. To "act it out" you use puppets, objects or people to act out the problem by trying to do what the people or things in your problem do. It will help you because you are actually doing the problem!
