How do you get started?
What approaches should you try?
Where did you get stuck?
What drawing, chart, graph, or model can you use?
3. Solution- State your solutions as clearly as you can. Include any drawings, graphs, and lists and so on that you used to help you. Defend why you believe your solution is correct or the best possible answer. Your explanations should be written in a way that will be convincing to someone else.
