Multi-Step Complex & Real-World Math Problem Solving

Grades 2-8

Students learn processes and strategies on how to solve complex math problems. Students learn how to understand, interpret, and solve “real-world” scenarios and develop financial literacy.

Three units for focused instruction:

• Math Process: students use the 5-Step Math Problem-Solving Plan to help them analyze, formulate a plan, and use strategies to answer math problems.
• Math in the Real World: students learn how to solve “real-world” math problems.
• Financial Literacy: students learn how to solve financial math problems including finance, saving and spending money, loans, interest rates, and more.
