Classroom Tidbits

This checklist can be used as one tool or separated into two. This may help students to improve the quality of their work, to initiate and stay on task independently, and to be more resourceful in the classroom.

Students can use this quick sheet to help them solve word problems using the CUBES method. Just print, copy, and cut. =)

Unpack the word problem with your students. Unpacking a word problem can help students go beyond just solving a problem but also understand the known and unknown in a word problem. They ask questions and explain their strategy. This is a multi-step addition/subtraction problem using numbers up to the ten thousands place.

Use this for students who need a reminder to stay on task. Daily points can be added to earn an incentive.
