Word problems can be frustrating for students. Word problems require both reading and math skills. Math Notes teaches students how to use notes to manage both by helping the students break the word problems into the following steps:
The facts of the problem.
The main question that needs answering.
A set of actions that can be used to solve the problem.
A visualization that represents the problem.
One great benefit of Math Notes is that as students build up a notebook of problems solved using the technique, they can use their notebook as a reference tool, searching for past problems and solutions that they can apply to new problems.
