The steps in solving routine problems are:

a. Understand – Know what is asked, what are

given.
b. Plan – Know the operation. Write the number
sentence
c. Solve – Write the correct units/label your
answer.
d. Check and Look Back – Review and check your
answer.
To solve non-routine problems involving
division, read and analyse the problem
carefully. Tell what is asked and what are
given. Then, use other strategies like act out
the problem, listing/table method, guess and
test, drawing and making a diagram, using
patterns, working backwards, etc. to solve.
