What is the CUBES Math Strategy?
The CUBES math strategy is a tool designed to help give
students a systematic approach to breaking down and
solving math word problems. The acronym C.U.B.E.S
stands for:
Circle key numbers & units
Underline the question
Box math action words
Evaluate the problem
Solve the problem & check your work
By breaking down the problem into these steps, students
can better understand the context of the problem and
effectively solve it.
it gives students a starting point when they are faced with word problems. We know many kids fear
word problems and many times they have no idea where to start.
It makes kids aware of what the problem is asking – this might seem simple but forcing kids to
underline the question is a good way to make them read what is the problem asking me to do.
It brings out all the numbers in the problem – sometimes word problems present numbers in
numerical form, word form, or any other tricky form. Circling the numbers forces kids to look through
the problem to find numbers in any form
