As we learn strategies for solving math word problems, we are learning a fun way to think through the problem. It is important to understand the question and know exactly what you are trying to answer. A good strategy for this is something called the SJSD strategy. Our class even came up with actions to help us remember each step!
S- Stop and Think
J- Just make a Plan
S- Solve the Problem
D- Describe your Answer ("I know this because...")
Ask your child to "show" you the SJSD strategy to solve those tricky word problems!!! :-)
