Step 1: As you watch the video, think about math: What math do you notice in the video? What do you wonder (math related questions)?


​
Step 2:Write at least one noticing and one wonder on the sheet (or in your notebook).




​Step 3:  How many Graham Crackers come in the box? Estimate. What is your "too low" estimate, your "too high" estimate, and your "just right" estimate? Write them down. ​



​
Step 4: Before looking ahead, think: What do you need to know in order to solve this problem? (To solve this problem, I would need to know how many...)



Step 5: Use the picture below to decide what you know. ("I know there are...")
Think about what you said you needed to know. Did you think of everything you would need to know in order to solve the problem?
