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.).

9. If an answer sheet is used, check your answers with the answer choices. If your answer is not found, repeat steps one through eight.
10. Bubble in the correct answer in the right space on your answer sheet.
