CUBES

This week the students have been learning how important it is to understand a word problem, develop a plan to solve it by using a variety of strategies, create a number sentence and reflecting on their work. A great way to practice this process is by using the acronym CUBES. 

The students created a foldable to always look back on and help them when encountering word problems. They used it when working in their Problem Solving Journal. 

Cooperation is key! Students were able to create a poster showing the class strategies and the correct way to work a word problem using cubes and the problem solving board.
