ABSTRACT
Problem solving is an integral part of the mathematics learning. In everyday life and in the workplace, being able to solve problems can lead to great advantages. That plan consists of several parts, including assessments, a daily routine, guided math lessons, workstations, homework and possibly a schoolwide activity. There are different templates to help we think about where we are currently and where we want to be. There is no magic bullet to teaching students how to solve word problems. It is consistency—which means over time, throughout the year. The emphasis has to be on the practice and process of solving problems rather than on getting the answer. The answer is necessary but not sufficient. There should be word problems that they have to solve and word problems that they have to write. It should have paper and pencil as well as virtual opportunities for students to hone their problem-solving skills.
