Breaking Down Problems

Take It Step by Step

When you face a tough problem, break it into smaller parts. Solve each part one at a time, and put your answers together. This makes big problems feel less overwhelming and helps you stay organized.

  • Identify what you know and what you need to find.
  • Tackle one calculation at a time.

Examples

  • Solve for one variable first in a system of equations, then use it to find the next.

  • Calculate the area of each section of a complex shape, then add them together.
