We use a lot of strategies in Mrs. Clark's room. We use strategies as guides to help us do the best we can. One strategy we use in the classroom is the UNRREAL strategy for reading.
In the UNRREAL strategy it is misspelled, but we do that for a reason. UNRREAL stands for
Underline the title
Number the paragraphs
Read the question
Read the passage/selection
Eliminate wrong answers
Answer
Look back for evidence
Those are the steps for an extended response or short answer. Another strategy we use in Mrs. Clark's room is our rounding poem.
The rounding poem goes like this: Find the number, look next door, 5 or greater add one more, 4 or less, let it rest. Digits to the left, zero's your name. That poem helps me a lot with rounding.
Another strategy we use in Mrs. Clark's room is the CUBES strategy.
The CUBES strategy is for math. CUBES stands for
Circle key numbers
Underline the question
Box any math action words
Evaluate
Solve and check
I feel comfortable with math and reading when I use these strategies. I will use strategies and I hope they help my classmates, too.
