Remember when you are doing your word problems from today that it is very important that you first figure out what the question you need to answer is. Then make sure you are getting rid of all unimportant information…there will be information that you don’t need in the problems. Cross out the unnecessary info. Once you figure out the question, and get rid of the information that is “extra” you need to figure out what operation or operations to do in order to answer the question. Make sure your answer makes sense and is answering the question. Talk to your parents about the problems if you need to. We will be going over your math journal problems from today one by one tomorrow to practice the directions above and then will do more word problems on the board. If you don’t understand a certain problem just skip it and we will discuss it tomorrow.
