STRATEGY 1 MAKES A TABLE OR AN ORGANIZED LIST

Problem:
There are 20 animals in the farm. Some are chickens and some are pigs. There a total
of 56 legs from these animals. How many chicken are in the farm?

CHICKEN 20 19 18 12 10 1 0
PIGS 0 1 2 8 10 19 20
LEGS 40 42 44 56 60 78 80

There are 12 chicken and 8 pigs

Solution:
Chicken legs = 2
Pigs legs =4
Chicken = 12 pieces (2 legs)
= 24 legs
Pigs = 8 pieces (4 legs)
= 32 legs

Sum chicken legs + Sum of pigs legs

= 24 legs + 32 legs
= 56 legs

STRATEGY 2 DRAWS A DIAGRAM, PICTURE OR MODEL

A rectangular garden 5 wide. Its length is 2m more than its width. What is its perimeter?
Solution
7m
P = 2l x 2w

P=7+7+5+5
5m 5m
P = 24

7m

STRATEGY 3 GUESS AND CHECK

Problem :
