THINK-IT-THROUGH THURSDAY!
Today weβre sharpening our problem-solving skills using one of our FAVORITE math tools: The C.U.B.E. Strategy! π·βοΈ
This method helps scholars slow down, understand the problem, and choose the right steps to solve confidently.
π· C.U.B.E. stands for:
C β Circle the important numbers
U β Underline the question
B β Box key clue words
E β Evaluate & Solve while explaining your thinking
Whether your scholar is in Pre-K or 6th grade, C.U.B.E. helps them:
βοΈ Stay focused
βοΈ Catch important details
βοΈ Understand what the problem is really asking
βοΈ Strengthen multi-step thinking
βοΈ Build confidence in math!
At Bells & Whistles Online Tutoring, we donβt just teach answers β
β¨ we teach scholars HOW to think it through.
Letβs build strong problem-solvers, one step at a time!

π§ How Scholars Can Use It (All Grade Levels):
π± Pre-K β 1st: βI can be considerate by sharing.β
βοΈ 2nd β 3rd: βBeing considerate means thinking before I act.β
π 4th β 5th: βA considerate person shows kindness through their choices.β
π 6th Grade: βBeing considerate means being mindful of othersβ feelings and needs.β
π Why This Matters
Being considerate helps students build strong friendships, positive habits, and a healthy classroom environment. When children learn to think about others, they grow academically and emotionally.
Letβs build character while we build skills!
