GUIDELINES
1. Understand– Make sure you understand what the question is asking. If you need clarifications, please ask Ms. Trask.
2. Process– There is often more than one way to get to a solution. You may want to consider some of the following questions.
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.
PROBLEM: What is the number that is 5 more than one-half of one-quarter of one-half of one-quarter of 16,000?
Good Luck!
