The G.U.E.S.S. Format This is NOT the guess and check method. Each letter represents a step in the process of answering a problem. G-Given State the given information in the question. example: A girl is picking apples. She had 4 to start with and then ate some along the way. How many apples did the girl eat if she picked a total of 7 apples? G= 7 apples picked, started with 4 U-Unknown State the unknown information in the problem. example: (use problem on previous slide) U= number of apples eaten E-Equation State the equation. example: let x represent the number of apples eaten. x= 7-4 S-Solve Solve the equation. example: Let x represent the number of apples eaten. x= 7-4 x= 3 S-Statement Give a concluding statement with the answer to the problem. example: Let x represent the number of apples eaten. x= 7-4 x= 3 Therefore, three apples were eaten. As a Whole: example: A girl is picking apples. She had 4 to start with and then ate some along the way. How many apples did the girl eat if she picked a total of 7 apples? G= U= E= S= S= 7 apples picked, started with 4 number of apples eaten x= 7-4 x= 3 Therefore, three apples were eaten. Helpful Hints •Word problems tend to have many different words referring to one operation. Use the table on the next slide to guide you when faced with an unfamiliar term. •In order to solve any problem, you must always isolate the variable. Just in Case Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Add Subtract Multiply Divide Plus Minus Times Over Increased Decreased Product Quotient More than Less than Doubled, Tripled, etc. Half, Third,etc.
