This model provides a problem-solving strategy for students to find the known and unknowns of the problem and create a strategy for finding those unknowns.

This was our original template for students to interpret and solve problems. We got rid of terms you don't know to give them space to label variables. They also now have more space for visuals.

CUBES is the general strategy for students to solve problems. In my host teachers class she does not follow it that closely.

Make a visual
Say your plan
Solve for answer
Explain your thinking or Prove your thinking

We use the VPSJ model for students to problem-solve word problems. The acronym stands for visual, problem, solution, and justify. We use this model middle school-wide in the math department so that students have continuity.

The CHASE model is an acronym to help students remember what actions they should take to solve the problem. First, they read the problem and circle the question that it's asking. Then, they reread the problem and hunt for clues that it gives them. They then decide how they're going to go about solving the problem. They then solve the problem and explain their answer.

When evaluating fraction multiplication and division problems we use tape diagrams. We use them and area models to make sure students conceptually understand how fractions interact with each other. This is useful for ELLs because it allows them to visualize the problems and make sense of word problems.

Three Reads (Book:  Routines for Reasoning by Kelemanik...)

# data[].attributes.body
The first read includes zooming out and reading for context.  The second read is to interpret the question.  The third read is to identify important information.  Students with SLD
- Provide students multiple passes at interpreting the problem
- Emphasize ask-yourself questions to develop students' internal dialogue.
- Record (and/or have students record) students' responses throughout the Three Reads routine to support multiple modalities.
