I can't do it - I don't know where to start - It's too hard. Making a plan to solve the problem is the best solution. Giving the students tens of problems to solve but just getting them to plan how they would answer the problem seems to be working.
Here are some general techniques for solving math problems:
Read the problem carefully and ensure you understand what you are being asked to do. Try rephrasing the problem in your own words.
Identify the given information and the unknown quantity that you need to find.
Determine a plan of action. What operations do you need to perform to solve the problem?
Carry out your plan and solve the problem.
Check your work to make sure that your solution is reasonable and correct.
Read the problem carefully and ensure you understand what you are being asked to do. Try rephrasing the problem in your own words, breaking it down into smaller pieces or asking for help from a fellow student, teacher, or tutor.
