Ditch the CUBES when Solving Word Problems!

Sandi Berg

No, I’m not referring to manipulatives when I say ditch the CUBES when solving word problems. Full disclosure: in the past, I probably fell into the CUBES supporter bunch. I’ve learned a lot over the past few years and now focus on other ways of teaching students how to solve word problems.
