16. Objective 6: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the mathematical processes and tools used in problem solving. The student is expected to: identify math in everyday situations. relate informal language to mathematical language and symbols. make generalizations from patterns or sets of examples and nonexamples. select or develop an appropriate problem solving strategy, including drawing a table, picture, working backwards, guessing and checking. use the problem-solving model to make a plan, carry out the plan, and then evaluate the solution.

17. Objective 6 Example A theater has 12 rows with 15 seats in each row. If 108 seats are occupied, which of the following shows a way to find the number of empty seats in the theater? a. Subtract 108 from the product of 15 and 12 b. Subtract 15 from the product of 108 and 12 c. Add 108 to the product of 15 and 12 d. Add 15 to the product of 108 and 12
