WORD Problems?!?

I hate those things! Don’t worry! Help is on the way - Just break it down into chunks!

Just use cubes C - Circle U - Underline B - Box E - Evaluate Huh? Don’t worry! C - Circle U - Underline B - Box E - Evaluate S – Solve & √

Circle Circle the KEY NUMBERS Read carefully, Circle numbers

Underline Underline the QUESTION -What am I supposed to find? - Usually at the very end or very start

BOX Put a BOX around any math ‘action’ words

evaluate Evaluate what to do! - What steps should I take? - Which functions do I need to use?

Solve & check Plug numbers in CIRCLES into functions from BOXES and calculate the answer -Reread the question and CHECK to see it makes sense!!!!
