Teach students a new way to solve word (story) problems.
Learn about the unique and sophisticated Rocket Math way of solving word problems. In short, here’s what we do.
- We begin by teaching students to solve for the unknown in an equation.
- Then we teach a formula for each type of problem we teach.
- Once they know the formula, students find the labels for what’s known in the problem.
- Then they put the question mark over what is asked for in the problem.
- Then they enter the known numbers over the correct labels.
- Then they solve for the unknown in the number sentence.
