Every day in Mr. Didycz's classroom students are given problems to solve.  Everyone has a brain...so everyone has ideas...so everyone can solve math problems!  These are the keys to success in problem solving*:

• read the problem carefully
• devise a plan
• carry out the plan
• check your work

Once you have a plan for solving your math problem, PERSEVERE.  This means DON'T GIVE UP, even when things get tough!  Face your problem head-on, and you will succeed!
