1. Whisper read the problem at least two times. Make a mental picture of what you are reading.
2. Circle the key words in the question. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE QUESTION IS ASKING!
3. Identify and circle/underline the key numbers and labels.
4. Eliminate unneeded data by drawing a line through it.
5. Thoroughly study any graphs, charts, or Venn diagrams.
6. Determine the operation(s)/strategies needed to solve the problem.
7. Solve the problem. SHOW YOUR WORK! (Draw a picture, work backwards, make it simple, etc.).
8. Evaluate the answer. DOES YOUR ANSWER MAKE SENSE? DOES IT ANSWER THE QUESTION(S) ASKED?
