  1. Select A Strategy 3.14C select or develop an appropriate problem-solving plan or strategy, including drawing a picture, looking for a pattern, systematic guessing and checking, acting it out, making a table, working a simpler problem, or working backwards to solve a problem

  2. Saving Dimes The class is saving dimes to buy a treat for the class. MaryAnn has 10 dimes. Kate has twice as many dimes as MaryAnn. Tim has half as many dimes as MaryAnn and Mike has half as many dimes as Kate has. Johanna has twice as many dimes as Tim and Mike have together. An ice cream party will cost them $8.00. Do they have enough money? Explain how you know.
