STAGE 05 / 08

Solve and write convincingly

Show what you do and why it answers the question.

Keep these checkpoints
  1. 01Prompt and unknown
  2. 02Justified method
  3. 03Calculation or evidence
  4. 04Interpretation and check
01

In maths and science

State data, unknowns, units and assumptions. Choose and rearrange the relation before substituting. Calculate, inspect signs and magnitude, then answer in a sentence. A graph illustrates; reasoning establishes.

02

In humanities

Describe, explain, compare and discuss require different responses. Connect each claim with evidence and explanation. Supply relevant dates, scales and definitions. Keep quotations exact and preserve data units and sources.

03

Keep an error log

Record error type, cause and corrective action. Replace “wrong sign” with an operation written on both sides and a substitution check. Later solve a nearby problem without a model rather than copying the full correction.

Put it into practice
