- Guided Notes →One page your students fill in and keep.
- Exit Ticket →Three items at the end of class. No student accounts.
- Re-teach →After an exit ticket: who missed what, and what to do tomorrow.
- Homework →Assign practice; it grades itself.
**4.OA.A.3**: Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

4.OA.A.3: Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
What you'll learn
- Solve word problems that require two or more steps using any combination of the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
- Represent a multistep word problem using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity at each step
- Interpret remainders in division problems according to context -- deciding whether to drop the remainder, round up to the next whole number, or use the remainder itself as the answer
- Assess the reasonableness of an answer using mental computation and estimation strategies, including rounding, both before and after solving
- Use a work-backward-from-the-question strategy to identify what information is needed and plan the sequence of operations
