Teaching Word Problems with Polya's 4-Step Problem Solving Process (and why you shouldn't use CUBES)

Teaching word problems is one of the biggest challenges faced by math teachers at any grade level. Many of us have tried using tricks like key words and the CUBES strategy, only to find our students were having LESS success with word problems. In this video, I'll explain why Georg Polya's 4-step problem solving process is the most effective way to teach word problems. Use it with students in elementary, middle school, or high school, and watch them start having more success with word problems, right away!
