is the question being asked?<\/li>\n<li>Does the problem have two parts?<\/li>\n<li>Draw a picture to help you see the problem described.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 2: Information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>What information is necessary to solve the problem?<\/li>\n<li>Often you are given extra numbers and information that are not needed.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the question (destination) in mind.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"border: 1px solid;border-radius: 30px;padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px\"> Circle<\/span> the information you need.<\/li>\n<li>Write that information on the picture you drew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 3: Operation<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Decide what arithmetic operation to use.<\/li>\n<li>Do you need to add, subtract, multiply, or divide?<\/li>\n<li>If the problem has two parts, decide what operation you need to do for each part.\n<ul>\n<li>Key words often point to the operation needed.<\/li>\n<li>Drawing a diagram or sketch is always helpful.<\/li>\n<li>Write an equation (a number sentence).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 4: Estimate<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Estimate the answer to the problem.\n<ul>\n<li>Round the numbers so you can work with them quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Use the operation you chose in Step 3 and come to a quick answer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Does this estimated answer make sense?<\/li>\n<li>Does it answer the question of the problem?<\/li>\n<li>Think carefully before you do Step 5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 5: Solve<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Solve the problem using the actual numbers.\n<ul>\n<li>Check your arithmetic.<\/li>\n<li>Compare your answer in Step 5 to your estimate from Step 4.<\/li>\n<li>Think again about the question. Does your solution make sense?<\/li>\n<li>When you write your answer, include the units.<br \/>\nFor example: 3 dozen eggs, 7.5 kilometres, 68 people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--exercises\">\n<header class=\"textbox__header\">\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Exercise 1<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\n<ol type=\"a\">\n<li>The total weight of an A.T.V. is 293.937 kg.
