Word Problems Checklist (E)
-
Read assignment instructions. Do I understand what I need to do? Which problems am I going to solve? -
Get scrap/graph paper, ruler, colored pencils, eraser, formula sheets, calculator and text book
-
Review the example problems from my notes or textbook
-
Mark up the question: Underline what I need to find, circle numbers I will use, cross out what I don't need
-
Estimate an answer before solving. After I solve I will use to confirm my final answer is reasonable
-
Write out all my steps and calculations. Draw a picture to visualize if helpful
-
Re-read the problem. Did I find what it asked? Is my answer close to my estimate?
-
Check my answer using a different method
-
Write down questions about specific problems to ask my teacher
