The 5-D Process
DESCRIBE/DRAW:
-
- Define your
terms.
- This is where
you will test
different
numbers.
DECLARE:
Record any information that is
important to the problem
Draw a diagram to help you visualize
important information.
- Do all of the
math operations
here.
- Decide if your
answer is too big,
too small, or
correct.
- Choose your next
number to test.
- Declare the solution in a complete
sentence, answering the question from the
problem.
TRY NOW:
• Solve the following problem using the 5D process.
• 5-115: A scalene triangle has three unequal side
lengths. The medium-length side is 7cm longer than
the shortest side. The longest side is twice as long
as the shortest side. The total perimeter is 39cm.
What are the lengths of the sides of the triangle?
**It will be helpful to look at your notes from
yesterday**
In Class:
• Complete problems 5-116 through 5-121
using the 5D Process
• (When you run out of sheets, practice the 5D
process on your own notebook paper)
At Home:
• STUDY FOR 5-D QUIZ TOMORROW
(please stay after school today if you still
need help with this process)
