Be a Math Detective!

Solving tough math problems is like being a detective. You need good strategies:

• Read the problem carefully. Make sure you understand what is being asked.
• Underline important information. This helps you focus on key numbers and facts.
• Draw a picture or diagram. Sometimes seeing it can help!
• Break the problem into smaller parts. Solve each part step by step.
• Check your answer. Does it make sense?

Using these strategies makes even the trickiest problems easier to tackle.
