    I think RUCSAC:

    Read
    Understand
    Calculate
    Solve
    Answer
    Check

    These are the steps to follow if you are using a word problem.

    I felt confident with the task Mr Mastrelli set us bit I did get a silly mistake with the two part word problem(number 5)

    1. Use RUCSAC successfully

    2. Read through thoroughly

    3. Use the inverse operation to check your answer!

    Fortunately our treasurer is very much able to sort the above problem(s) on behalf of the PTA. However it looks as if many members of Class 8 have the ability, knowledge and understanding to run rings around us. Gosh, how impressive class 8

    My advice is to use R.U.C.S.A.C because that’s the most efficient way to get it done!

    E.G: 95+63=

    + 95
    63
    _____

    158
