…on your math homework!
Here are a few bits of information to make your math homework go smoothly:
 Students are to complete all of the problems on the front of the math page.
 Students are to complete only numbers assigned to their group on the
problem-solving page.
 If the math homework has only one side, a problem-solving page, students are
to complete the entire page.
 In order to complete the highlighted word problems on the math homework,
please use the WIK/WINK strategy described below.
WIK

“What I Know”
Write what the word problem tells you
using short “caveman” phrases.
WINK

Be sure the answer has a word in it
(label it).
“What I Need to Know”
Write what the word problem asks you
to find out (the question).
Plan
Check
List the steps you will follow to solve the
problem.
Check over your work and your answer.
Use +, -, x, and
