Exemplar Math Problem Solving Journal
Based on a problem solving chart I received at a workshop, I created a journal/notebook style guide to help students fully explain the process of solving an exemplar.
It is Microsoft Word, so you can edit it to fit your students!
It includes:
UNDERSTAND the problem: "I have to...."
THINK of your plan: "I will... (use this strategy)
SOLVE the problem: "Here is my work."
COMMUNICATE your solution: "This is how I figured out the answer... "The answer is..."

Pre Algebra - Solving Word Problems with Let Statement(s)
This product involves writing and solving word problems, using Let Statements. I use a 4 step process of representing the unknown, writing an equation, solving and answering the question. This is used for my 7 Honors math class but can easily be adapted for 6th thru 8th grade for any level as there are varying levels of difficulty. There are 13 questions, including 1, 2 or 3 let statements. There are larger and smaller number problems, age problems and a few perimeter (length

Using Math Fact Songs to Solve Division Problems
Students are able to solve division problems (e.g. 12âž— 2 = 6) through song. Students can sing the songs and solve the problems simultaneously. Mastery of this skill will help students comprehend multiplication and division fluency simultaneously. Fact fluency through song will reduce cognitive load. State testing is easier when students know their math facts. Proficiency with basic math facts will reduce frustration and save students processing time.

Watch Your Step - A Math Problem Solving Plan
This is a strategy that I use with my 4th and 5th grade students to help them break down and understand math word problems. It's a complete PowerPoint that can be edited. The second slide, explains all of the steps. After which, the answers are stated in PROCESS format. Students must match the steps performed with the process, not just stated numerical answers.

Steps to Solve Word Problems
This handout gives explicit, step-by-step directions for solving one-step word problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Instead of a vague instruction for the student to "choose the operation," this procedure uses fact family triangles which simplifies the process because students need only to decide between two choices: addition/subtraction or multiplication/division. Once the fact family type is identified, the handout gives explicit directions for filling in the

Systems of Equations Word Problem - Writing Exercise
Help your students work through their problem solving methods! This exercise is a one-question assignment in which students must roleplay explaining how to solve a problem to a classmate. This is a system of equations assignment. They must first write the system from the word problem, and then choose their preferred method to solve the system. (Space is included at the bottom of the page so students can work out the problem.) But the goal of this assignment is not just to solve the problem. Th

Blank Template to use with Polya's Four Step Problem Solving and Math Strategies
Three pages with lots of space to show the thinking needed to solve word problems. Each step reminds the student what parts of the process need to be explained by him/her. Explaining the steps to employ and in the order needed hearkens back to the scientific method and the explanation of procedures. Students will make this connection with practice. Using this kind of thinking strategy will pay off on high stakes testing.
