We have been talking about problem-solving strategies that we can use to solve word problems.
* Read the problem 2 or more times.
* Underline the facts. {numbers, key actions, vocabulary}
* Circle the question.
* Model a problem. {counters, base-ten blocks}
* Act out the problem. {Students act out, use technology}
* Create drawings or diagrams.
* Retell or use graphic organizers. (Beginning, Middle and End)
* Solve the problem. {Draw a picture.}
* Write the answer. {Number sentence + Sentence.}
We continue to use different strategies to show our thinking and problem-solving.
