problem.
I make a plan of what to do.
If possible, I work on the problem with other
students.
I remember how I solved other problems like this
one.
I draw a picture or chart to help solve the problem.
I check my answer after I solve the problem.
Before I read, I look through the pages.
First, I look for words I know.

I work with a friend and we read and study together.
As I read, I make a summary of the most important
ideas.
As I read, I try to make good guesses.
