CUBES Strategy for Addition and Subtraction Mastery

The video tutorial focuses on solving story problems by adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. It introduces key signal words that indicate whether to add or subtract and explains the CUBES strategy for problem-solving. The CUBES strategy involves circling numbers, underlining questions, boxing key words, evaluating the problem, and solving it. The tutorial provides examples of both addition and subtraction problems, demonstrating how to apply the CUBES strategy effectively.

What is one of the learning goals mentioned in the video?

• Compare the numbers

• Circle the numbers

• Calculate the numbers

What is the purpose of underlining the question in the CUBES strategy?

• To evaluate the problem

• To identify the keywords

• To focus on what needs to be solved

• To highlight the numbers

In the subtraction problem example, how many people were left at the stadium?

• 17

• 84

• 77

• 67

In the addition problem example, how many people went to the carnival in total?

• 68

• 127

• 130

• 59

What does the 'S' in the CUBES strategy stand for?

• Subtract the numbers

• Solve the problem and check

• Simplify the problem

• Sum the numbers
