Success in Math

• Step 1 – Explore: determine what information is given and what you need to find, whether or not you have all the information you need to solve the problem.  Is there is any information given that is not needed?
• Step 2 – Plan: Select a strategy for solving the problem. Will it help you to estimate the answer?
• Step 3 – Solve: Carry out the plan. If the plan doesn’t work, try again until you can find one that does. Apply appropriate labels or units.
• Step 4 – Examine: Does your answer make sense given the facts in the problem? Is the answer reasonable to your estimation. If the answer is not correct, develop a new plan and begin again.
