Homework - SOLVE - September 16th

Today we spent a little more time covering the third step of the S.O.L.V.E. method, Step L. Remember that SOLVE is a set of problem solving steps that make it easier for us to solve challenging word problems. If you need to review the first two steps (S and O), click here.

Today we went over Step L in class:

Step L (Line up a Plan) -
Writing a plan in words with no numbers.
Choose an operation or operations.

The reason why we write a plan in words with no numbers is because doing this helps us focus on what the numbers in a word problem represent. In other words, when writing a plan, instead of using numbers, we use what the numbers stand for.
