Estella Explainer helps children understand the language and meaning of questions using kid-friendly vocabulary.

My job is to explain the math questions clearly so you know what you are supposed to do to solve the problem. Sometimes there are unfamiliar or confusing terms in the question. I will help you understand what they mean.

Have fun with these problems, and remember, math is a language too.

I am here to make sure that you know how to do the math needed to answer these questions. Sometimes you need to do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Some questions ask you to use fractions, decimals, large numbers, and probability. When you need ideas for what to do, I am ready.

Enjoy math, and remember, numbers are your friends.

How-to-Hound presents strategic thinking clues (rounding, estimation, elimination of wrong answers).

Answering math questions means you need a plan and my role is to help you figure out different strategies for solving problems. Sometimes you can get the correct answer by crossing out the wrong answers; other times you can round numbers up or down to make figuring a problem easier. I know other strategies as well.

You can do great with math, and remember, math is smart thinking.

Visual Vicuna offers ways to see problems and their solutions using animations, pictures, charts and graphs.

I find math is a lot clearer when I take the numbers and words and put them into pictures and drawings or move objects around so I can see how to answer a question. When you find yourself unsure about a question, see if one of my ideas will explain what to do.

Happy mathing, and remember, math is pictures and action.
