When your child asks you for help, get them started by using these prompts:

1. Does this remind you of other problems? If so, can you talk me through them?

2. How would you describe the problem in your words?

3. What information is given in the problem?

4. Talk me through your work to this point.

5. Where do you think you should start?

6. What is the problem asking you to do?

7. Would drawing a representation help?

8. Does your answer make sense?

9. Did you answer all of the questions?

10. Is there a more efficient strategy you could use?
