ROPES Problem Solving Process and Strategies

What is ROPES? Ropes is a acronym for the steps of the problem solving process that we will use to solve real life problems. R: Read the problem Highlight any information that is needed to solve the problem O: Omit Cross out any information that is unnecessary to solving the problem P: Make a plan choose a problem solving strategy E: Evidence show your work S: Solution write your answer in a complete sentence with complete detail

R: Read the Problem O: Omit any unnecessary information The first step in the problem solving process is to read the problem. After you have read the problem, you need to highlight the important information that is needed to solve the problem. When you have highlighted the information needed to solve the problem, you must also omit or cross out information that is not needed to solve the problem. Not all problems have unnecessary information, so there may not always be information that is crossed out.

Pause the podcast and try to follow the steps. Example: The roots of a tree reach 12 feet into the ground. A dog chased a black and white kitten up the tree. It is stuck 5 feet from the top of the tree. From the treetop to the roots the tree is 32 feet. How far above ground is the kitten? First read the problem. Decide what information is important and needs to be highlighted and what information needs to be omitted or crossed out. Pause the podcast and try to follow the steps.

Example: The roots of a tree reach 12 feet into the ground. A dog chased a black and white kitten up the tree. It is stuck 5 feet from the top of the tree. From the treetop to the roots the tree is 32 feet. How far above ground is the kitten?

P: Make a plan Choose a problem solving strategy. Strategies: Draw a diagram Make a chart/table Work backwards Find a pattern Guess and test Make an organized list

Example: The roots of a tree reach 12 feet into the ground. A dog chased a black and white kitten up the tree. It is stuck 5 feet from the top of the tree. From the treetop to the roots the tree is 32 feet. How far above ground is the kitten?

P: Draw a diagram 5 feet 32 feet 12 feet

E: Evidence SHOW YOUR WORK! Taken from: http://www.nde.ne.gov/stars/documents/MoonVermaas1.ppt

Example: 5 feet 32 feet 12 feet Evidence: Using the diagram, you must show your work. 32 – 12 = 20 feet ~ This is the height of the tree from the ground. 20 – 5 = 15 feet ~ This is the height of the kitten from the ground. Clips taken from: dclips.fundraw.com

S: Solution Your solution should be written with detail in a complete sentence. For the example, our answer would be: The cat is 15 feet from the ground.
