Solving Equations Checklist (b)
-
Get paper, pencils, notes, and any additional materials such as manipulatives and graph paper -
Read the directions
-
If needed, review the example problems from my teacher, notes, or book
-
Read the problem twice. If helpful, draw a model or use manipulatives
-
Use scrap paper to neatly write out the equation. If using graph paper, give each number and decimal point its own square
-
Show my work so I can check it later
-
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
-
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
-
Estimate to see if my answer is close to my estimate
-
Check my answers to make sure they are complete and make sense. Re-solve if needed. If I'm unsure, check my notes or ask for help
-
Test how well I understand the concept by trying to explain why my strategy makes sense
-
Write down any questions to ask my teacher
