Grace Roth: When given two-step functional word problems involving addition or subtraction, Grace will utilize a calculator and a problem-solving strategy such as CUBES (circle, underline, box key words, evaluate, solve) to independently solve with 75% accuracy in 2 out of 3 trials. Please make with difficult numbers
This learning resource introduces the CUBES strategy, a step-by-step method designed to help students effectively tackle math word problems. The acronym CUBES stands for: C - Circle the numbers; U - Underline the question; B - Box the key words; E - Evaluate and make a plan; S - Solve and check your work. Through guided examples, practice problems, and checklists, students are encouraged to apply this strategy to break down complex word problems into manageable steps. The document also includes various math problems for students to practice using the CUBES approach, ensuring they understand the methodology and can apply it effectively.
