For Example:
Ben knows 100 baseball players by name. Ten are Red Sox. The rest are Blue Jays and
Diamondbacks. He knows the names of twice as many Diamondbacks as Blue Jays. How
many Blue Jays does he know by name?
Example:
“I know there are twice as many Diamondbacks as Blue Jays. There are 10 Red Sox. The
number of Blue Jays and Diamondbacks should equal 90.”
Step 3: Check
Read the problem again to be sure the question was answered.
Remember:
Arrange guesses
Keep track of guess and other numbers in a table
Use the results from previous guess to make a better next guess
Guess and check is as much about developing mathematical reasoning and problem
solving as it is about finding a correct solution.
