becomeeffective problem solvers.Many problems in life have multiple steps and requiresome type of systematic approach for success.There are two things children need todo when developing a plan for solving problems.First,children must ask themselvesexactly what is being asked.Then,they determine the important information that isbeing given in the problem.When they clearly understand the answers to these twoquestions,they are then ready to devise their plan.Some key questions for them asthey approach the problem may be:  \n·What is the important information?  \n·Will a diagram,list,table,or picture help in solving this problem?  \n● Is there a pattern that can be used and/or followed?  \nRemember:The first step towards success is  \nfor students to read the problem carefully.They then may decideon a method to solve the problem.  \nRemind your child that knowing math facts is essential-however,mathis not “just computing”  \n-it is thinking and then applying.Understanding how,why,and whento use different strategies is equally as important as fact knowledge.  \n1.These resource books are designed to supplement
