Suggested approach

	
* Read the problem individually.

• One group member reads the problem out loud.

• Designate one of the whiteboards as the planning board.

• Split the planning board (see example below) into four sections:

		Facts: What information do you have?  (Real World)

		Lacking: What information you need to solve this problem and how might 				you collect evidence to obtain this information? (Model World)
			   
		A+A: What approximations and assumptions can you make? (Design 				System)

		Representations: What representations can you generate to help you 				understand and solve the problem. (Generate Representation)

Once you feel the planning board is complete construct a useable model world to formulate a plan to solve the problem on other whiteboard (Predicting). 

The plan should include:

1. What is the key idea or concept behind the problem?

1. What steps must be taken to solve the problem?

  * Calculate answer based on plan and model world (Make a prediction). 

  * Test this prediction against the real world (Validating).
		
		-	Does it make sense or is it reasonable?

• If model is not validated reflect on model world created and restart modeling process.

  * For the last 5 minutes of the session generate learning issues and tasks for each 			group member to investigate and return to the group to explain for the next session.
