Directions: You and one other partner will be working together to answer
the questions below. Each person will have multiple roles while solving
each question. Below is a list of the roles:
Partner 1: Read Questions Aloud
Partner 2: Draw picture to represent the situation, including labeling any
information given to you in the problem.
Partner 1: Write the equation you will use to solve the problem.
Partner 2: Check the equation
Partner 1: Solve the equation
Partner 2: Check the solution
After you complete a problem, switch which partner is 1 and which
partner is 2. Continue doing so until you have completed all of the
problems below.
