In this problem solving strategies instructional activity, students answer a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may click on a link to see correct answers.

Learners engage in a lesson that is concerned with the use of mental strategies for multiplication and division. They develop the cognitive skills through repetition exercises that include mental exercises like "Mad Minutes Multiplication".

In this mental math worksheet, students complete the multiplication and subtraction problems where they use the strategy "subtract all digits from 9 except the last one from 10". Students complete 26 problems.

In this math worksheet, students solve 4 grid puzzles in which the rows, columns and diagonals total the number at the end of each. There are helpful strategy hints on the page.

Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. They will watch the video "Math Can Take You Places" and identify three problem solving strategies.

Students develop a strategy list for problem solving by working with different types of problems. They recognize problems that may be solved using deductive reasoning and solve deductive reasoning problems.

Students use a dictionary to gather appropriate information for writing simple definitions. They recognize prefixes that relate to numbers, such as mono-, bi-, and tri-. Pupils use their creative abilities to extrapolate new words to...
