Which equation is correct? Evan wants a bike that costs Php 12 600 and a coat for Php 5 100. How much do the two cost?
Php 5 100 + B = Php 12 600
Php 12 600 - Php 5 100 = B
Php 12 600 + Php 5 100 = B
B + Php 12 600 = Php 5 100

Students are often frustrated in their efforts to solve problems simply because
they don’t know how to read.
they are afraid of the teachers.
they don’t understand it fully, or even in part.
they just wait for their teachers to solve the problems.
If step 4 suggests that the solution is incorrect, return to this step and reread the problem carefully.
Make a plan
Execute the plan
Lookback and reflect
Understand the problem
