IF it’s too
complicated to understand the
1st time…

Beware…Of red herrings!(false clues) In this
case, numbers that are just there to trick you, but are not needed to solve the problem.
![Page 13: How to solve a math problem!. Step One Read the problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649db95503460f94aa97e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What to do…if you’ve read
the question more than once, and you still don’t know which way to turn..
![Page 14: How to solve a math problem!. Step One Read the problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649db95503460f94aa97e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Then just do something!You know there are four operations and you’ll
have to do at least one of them. So pick one. You know you need to do that operation using at
least two numbers, so pick two of the numbers in the problem.
Then either add ‘em, subtract ‘em, multiply ‘em, or divide ‘em.
You may be wrong, but YOU MAY BE RIGHT!

Step FourSolve the problem
![Page 16: How to solve a math problem!. Step One Read the problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649db95503460f94aa97e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step FiveNow think…Does this
answer make sense?
Would I expect this to be the answer?
![Page 17: How to solve a math problem!. Step One Read the problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649db95503460f94aa97e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step SixAsk yourself…
Are there more parts to this question?
(Some questions have two or more parts!)
![Page 18: How to solve a math problem!. Step One Read the problem](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56649db95503460f94aa97e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RememberIf you ONLY answer
half the question, EVEN if you get that half
100% right…That’s only 50% of the question...
And 50% is an F!

Step SevenCheck your work…
just work backwards, using the opposite operations and see if you end up where you began.

Congratulations!That’s how to solve a math problem. Some more clues for math sleuths…
Always try something.
Never try nothing.
Show your work and hand it in. Even if you don’t make it the whole way, you may have come close.
