This learning resource focuses on the CUBES strategy to enhance problem-solving skills in mathematics, specifically in handling word problems. CUBES is an acronym that stands for Circle the numbers, Underline the question, Box the key words, Eliminate unneeded info, and Solve and check. The document provides a structured approach to breaking down various word problems, encouraging students to show their work through each step of the CUBES strategy. Several example problems are included, covering scenarios like shopping, fundraising, and sharing, all designed to help students practice identifying key information and solving mathematical questions systematically. The resource culminates in a challenge problem to reinforce learning, along with a scoring criteria to evaluate students' progress.
