Math Problem Solving

Students will be working on many different problem-solving activities. My expectation is that students are able to communicate their thinking on how they solve a problem on paper instead of just saying “I just knew it.” When we problem-solve, students will be expected to:

1. Read the problem.

2. Underline the Question.

3. Circle the IMPORTANT INFORMATION and KEY WORDS.

4. Make a PLAN.  (Equation to help you solve it)

5. Solve using PICTURES, NUMBERS, and LABELS/WORDS.

6. LABEL and BOX you answer.
