When solving mathematics problems, students should be encouraged to follow a general problem solving procedure. This is summed up as follows:
1. Read the problem carefully. The first and most important step is to read the problem carefully to understand what you're asked to find out and what information you have been given. Underlining the important information is also useful so you have all the important numbers/facts to hand.
2. Choose a strategy and make a plan.
3. Carry out the plan and solve the problem.
4. Check the working out and make sure that your solution is actually answering the question.
