FAST+DRAW

**FAST DRAW**

**Content** This strategy is used for solving word problem in mathematics.

**Grade Level** This can be used for and grade solving word problem, but in this example I gave seventh grade CSOs.

**Curriculum Standards** M.O.7.1.5- analyze and solve grade-appropriate real-world problems with whole numbers, integers, decimals, fractions and percents including problems involving
 * discounts,
 * interest,
 * taxes,
 * tips,
 * percent increase or decrease, and justify solutions including using estimation and reasonableness.

**Description of Practices**
 * F**- Find What you are solving for
 * A**- Ask yourself, "What are the parts of the problem?"
 * S**- Set up the numbers
 * T**- Tie down the sign
 * D**- Discover the sign
 * R**- Read the problem
 * A**- Answer, or draw and check
 * W**- Write the answer

**Implementation Considerations** This strategy can be used in all setting. Students are to go through the steps of this process when solving a word problem. The strategy should be modeled to the students with an example problem.

**Example** This example gives in detail how to implement FAST DRAW and also gives another mnemonic FIND: []
