Math Problem Solving

Here at TCE we use five steps to figure out how to solve math problems. The steps are:

1. READ: Read the problem carefully. You might need to read it twice!
2. IDENTIFY: Find the key words. Figure out what the problem is asking you to do.
3. PLAN: Make a plan for how to solve it. There is more than one strategy you can use.
4. SOLVE: Solve the problem.
5. CHECK: Check your answer.
