"Step 4: Check Your Work. You've solved the problem, but are you finished? Not quite! Look at your answer and ask: 'Does this answer make sense?' and 'Did I answer the question asked?' This ensures we reached the right treasure!"

10 Minutes

Part 3: Guided Practice

(Distribute: Practice Worksheet. Display Slide 8)

(Read the Maya sticker problem aloud)

"Okay, Pathfinders, Step 1: Understand. What is the question asking?" (Wait for responses: stickers now) "What info do we have?" (Wait: 12 stickers, got 5, gave away 3).

"Step 2: Plan. How do we solve it?" (Wait: add 5, then subtract 3).

"Step 3: Solve. Let's do the math on our worksheets. 12 + 5 = 17. 17 - 3 = 14."

"Step 4: Check. Does 14 stickers make sense? Yes, it's close to where she started. Did we answer the question? Yes!"

5 Minutes

Wrap-Up

"You've been amazing Problem-Solving Pathfinders today! Your mission is to continue practicing these 4 steps on the rest of your worksheet. Remember, every problem is just an adventure waiting for a great pathfinder like you!"
