Measurement Problems Checklist (b)

Before I Begin Solving:

  1. Get paper, pencils, colored pencils, and additional materials such manipulatives, ruler, and protractor
  2. Read the directions
  3. If needed, review the example problems from the teacher, my notes, or book

While I Solve:

  1. Read the problem twice. If needed, draw a picture to visualize the problem using ruler and graph paper
  2. Clearly label my picture with numbers and units
  3. If I'm stuck, talk through or describe the problem out loud
  4. Write down my equation before I solve
  5. Show my work so I can check it later
  6. Circle any problem I am unsure of so I can re-solve it at the end. Don't let myself get stuck on any one problem, move on, and try again later

After I Finish:

  1. Go back to any problem where I was unsure and re-solve. Avoid looking at what I did the first time through. If I'm still unsure, ask for help or circle to discuss with my teacher
  2. Check my answers to make sure they are complete and make sense
  3. Test how well I understand the concept by trying to explain why my strategy makes sense
  4. Write down any questions to ask my teacher
