This document outlines a 7-step process for solving math problems: 1) Read the problem carefully multiple times to understand what is being asked. 2) Identify what needs to be found and look for clues about the operation(s) needed like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. 3) Select an operation and numbers from the problem to try solving it. Even if incorrect, trying something is better than doing nothing. 4) Solve the problem using the selected operation and numbers. 5) Check that the answer makes logical sense. 6) Ensure any multi-part problems are fully answered. 7) Check the work by working backwards with inverse operations.
