Math Gumbo and RICE

This guide focuses on enhancing math problem-solving skills using the four-step method: Restate, Illustrate, Compute, and Explain. Start by restating important information and questions in your own words to ensure understanding. Next, illustrate concepts visually to clarify ideas, followed by computing the answer through calculations. Finally, explain your reasoning clearly to solidify understanding and demonstrate mastery of the problem. This structured approach will help students tackle a variety of math challenges confidently and effectively.

  1. Math Gumbo and RICE

  2. RICE • Restate Illustrate • Compute • Explain

  3. RESTATE • Restate means to say something in a different way. • We restate the important information in the problem. • That usually means writing the information that involves some kind of numbers.

  4. Restate also means to say the question in a different way to make sure you understand what to answer. RESTATE

  5. What is the total? How many altogether? How many in all? The sum is… Restate Addition Problems:

  6. How many fewer? How much change? How many are left? The difference is… How many more? How much greater? Restate Subtraction Questions

  7. Restate - Example • Problem: Jeff had 3 nickels and 8 dimes. Marcy has 2 dollars. The children want to buy a present for their Mom that costs $4.25. If the children combined their money, would they have enough money to buy the present. Explain your answer.

  8. 1.Restate the important information. • Jeff had 3 nickels = .15 and 8 dimes = .80 • Marcy had $2.00 • Mom’s present = $4.25 • 2. Restate the important question: • Do the children have $4.25?

  9. Illustrate • This means to draw a picture. Drawing a picture can take many forms. It doesn’t always have to be art. • Example: • Jeff = 10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+5+5+5 • Marcy = • $1.00 + $1.00 • ALWAYS LABEL YOUR DRAWINGS!

  10. This means that you write a number sentence. Example: $0.80 + 0.15 COMPUTE

  11. Explain Your Answer • This means to do 2 things: • 1. Write the answer in a complete sentence. • 2. Tell why you know this answer is your answer in a complete sentence.

  12. Jason has $5 in quarters. How many quarters does he have? Now You Try It

  13. Restate the important information. • Jason has $5 in quarters. • Restate the question: • How many quarters does it take to equal $5?

  14. Illustrate •  = $1.00  = $1.00 •  = $1.00  = $1.00 •  = $1.00

  15. Write a number sentence. $1.00+$1.00+$1.00+$1.00+$1.00=$5.00 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20 quarters

  16. Answer: It takes 20 quarters to equal $5.00. Explain: I know this because there are 4 quarters in one dollar. So 5 dollars has 4 quarters five times. Explain
