DRAW

DRAW ~ Math Strategy

The DRAW math strategy is a mnemonic that can help students solve addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems.


What does DRAW mean?

D = Discover the sign
R = Read the problem
A = Answer or draw a representation of the problem using lines, tallies, or checks.
W = Write the answer and check.

Make sure that steps are modeled and that students have plenty of opportunities for practice before being asked to use any strategy independently.
