| 7 | Convert fractions to decimals by dividing. |
| 8 | Convert decimals to fractions over 10, 100, or 1000. |
| 9 | Simplify fractions whenever possible. |
| 10 | Fractions must have common denominators to add or subtract. |
| 11 | Find the least common denominator before adding fractions. |
| 12 | Add numerators, keep the denominator the same. |
| 13 | Subtract numerators, keep the denominator the same. |
| 14 | Change mixed numbers to improper fractions to multiply. |
| 15 | Multiply numerators and denominators straight across. |
| 16 | Simplify before multiplying if possible. |
| 17 | Divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal. |
| 18 | A larger denominator means smaller pieces. |
| 19 | Use a number line to compare fractions. |
| 20 | Compare whole numbers first when ordering mixed numbers. |
| 21 | Estimate before solving to check reasonableness. |
| 22 | Round numbers to make estimating easier. |
| 23 | If your answer is far from your estimate, check your work. |
| 24 | Read the entire word problem first. |
| 25 | Underline what the problem is asking. |
| 26 | Circle important numbers. |
| 27 | Look for clue words like total, difference, each, or left. |
| 28 | Multi-step problems need more than one operation. |
| 29 | Solve step by step. |
| 30 | Write an equation to organize your thinking. |
| 31 | Area = length × width. |
| 32 | Perimeter = add all side lengths. |
| 33 | Area is measured in square units. |
| 34 | Perimeter uses regular units (cm, ft, etc.). |
| 35 | If units are different, convert first. |
| 36 | 12 inches = 1 foot. |
| 37 | 3 feet = 1 yard. |
| 38 | 60 minutes = 1 hour. |
| 39 | 24 hours = 1 day. |
| 40 | Use a timeline to find elapsed time. |
| 41 | Start at the beginning time and count up. |
| 42 | Break elapsed time into hours and minutes. |
| 43 | Watch for crossing AM to PM. |
| 44 | Choose the best measurement unit for the situation. |
| 45 | Liquid is measured in cups, pints, quarts, or liters. |
| 46 | Weight is measured in ounces, pounds, grams, or kilograms. |
| 47 | Length is measured in inches, feet, meters, etc. |
| 48 | Check units in the answer choices. |
| 49 | Convert before adding or subtracting measurements. |
| 50 | Always label your answer with units. |
| 51 | Read both axes on a line graph. |
| 52 | Check the scale (count by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.). |
| 53 | Look carefully at the title of the graph. |
| 54 | Find exact values before answering. |
| 55 | Compare values to answer “which is greatest/least.” |
| 56 | Probability = favorable outcomes ÷ total outcomes. |
| 57 | Probability is written as a fraction between 0 and 1. |
| 58 | 0 means impossible. |
| 59 | 1 means certain. |
| 60 | 1/2 means equally likely. |
| 61 | List all possible outcomes to find probability. |
| 62 | Patterns: look for what changes each time. |
| 63 | Check if the pattern adds or subtracts. |
| 64 | If numbers grow fast, check for multiplication. |
| 65 | Variables stand for unknown numbers. |
| 66 | Solve for the missing number by using inverse operations. |
| 67 | Both sides of an equation must be equal. |
| 68 | Check your answer by substituting it back. |
| 69 | Prime numbers have exactly two factors. |
| 70 | Composite numbers have more than two factors. |
| 71 | Find factors by listing multiplication pairs. |
| 72 | The greatest common factor is the largest shared factor. |
| 73 | Use place value to read large numbers. |
| 74 | Compare whole numbers by the highest place value first. |
| 75 | Write numbers in expanded form to understand value. |
| 76 | When ordering decimals, line up place values. |
| 77 | Zeros do not change a number’s value in decimals. |
| 78 | Draw models if fractions are confusing. |
| 79 | Use bar models for word problems. |
| 80 | If an answer seems too big or too small, recheck. |
| 81 | Eliminate answer choices that don’t make sense. |
| 82 | Estimate to narrow down multiple-choice answers. |
| 83 | Read all choices before selecting one. |
| 84 | Watch for tricky words like “not” or “except.” |
| 85 | Re-read the question before clicking Next. |
| 86 | Check your work if time allows. |
| 87 | Work carefully on non-calculator problems. |
| 88 | Keep numbers lined up neatly. |
| 89 | Show your work to avoid mistakes. |
| 90 | If stuck, skip and come back later. |
| 91 | Take a deep breath if you feel stuck. |
| 92 | Use scratch paper to organize your thinking. |
| 93 | Double-check decimal placement. |
| 94 | Make sure fractions are simplified. |
| 95 | Check that your answer includes units when needed. |
| 96 | Look for patterns in the answer choices. |
| 97 | Trust your math, not just guessing. |
