Review the list of words and their meanings!

Be sure to read the word problem left to right, writing down the equation information as you go!

Cover the answer choices! They are there to trick you!

1. Strategy ReviewPlug-In Method

When to use: - problems with percent answer choices- problems with answer choices that are algebraic expressions or variables- “in terms of” problems

Remember to review which numbers are good to pick and which are NOT good to pick!

1. Strategy ReviewDiagrams / Visuals

If a diagram is not drawn to scale, add information that will make it easier to understand

If no diagram exists, draw one! It helps a lot to visualize your problem.

Be wary of geometry problems that hide in overlapping shapes
