Second Step: Fair Ways to Play

The third lesson in our Second Step problem solving unit focused on fair ways to play this week. Students explored the idea of sharing, trading, or taking turns as a solution for solving problems. They gained experience with defining and differentiating the terms, identifying and stating the problem for a given solution, generating possible solutions, and demonstrating fair ways to play. Sharing, trading, and taking turns are solutions intended to promote the goals of fairness and mutual enjoyment, so students are less likely to use aggressive solutions.
