Problem Solving in Math - C. U. B. E. S.

Many of you have heard of the C. U. B. E. S. Strategy to help students navigate and solve word problems. It requires the students to annotate their word problems and really dive deep into what is in the word problem.

C. U. B. E. S.
C = Circle the numbers
U = Underline the question
B = Box key words
E = Eliminate what you don't need
S = Does your answer make sense? or Show your Work

I use this free artifact from Teachers Pay Teachers. I got the download from Fun in 5th Grade's page. I post it in my class and we go through each poster when solving all word problems and tasks.
