Understanding the TRF Method

The video introduces a new strategy for solving word problems using the Template Ratio Find (TRF) method. It explains how to identify VIPs (Very Important Points) and the gist of a problem, and how to apply the TRF method to solve problems. The video also discusses the scoring system, emphasizing the importance of partial credit, and provides instructions for group activities to practice the method.

What is the first step in solving a word problem using the new strategy introduced?

• Calculate the total time required

• Draw a diagram of the problem

• Identify the Very Important Points (VIPs)
