5 STEPS
1. Read the situation as
many times as you need
to for it to make sense.

STEPS
3. Identify what the
expression equals.
Ex:

STEPS
4. Write the expression and what it
equals in one line and you’ve
written the equation. (But you’re not
done).

STEPS
5. Solve and check your answer to the equation to
see if it makes sense for the situation.
Solve: Check:
=
There are 40 pencil boxes.
