STAR: Improving Performance on Math Word Problem-Solving Students can improve their performance on math word problems when they follow STAR, a simple self-guided strategy (Peltier & Vannest, 2016). STAR is easy to recall and prompts the student to apply problem-solving steps in a logical order. It was found to be particularly effective with students with emotional/behavioral disorders.Preparation
The instructor teaches the student to fo
llow STAR, a 4-step sequence to solve math word problems: (1) Search, (2)Translate, (3) Answer, and (4) Review. These steps are explained in Table 1: Table 1: STAR Problem-Solving Sequence for Math Word Problems
Step Student-Directed Actions
1.Search The student reads the problem carefully and engages in activities to
promote understanding, such as reading the problem aloud, highlightingkey words, crossing out extraneous information, etc. 2.Translate The student applies techniques to convert the word problem to a number
sentence. Strategies in this step might include using counters or other manipulatives to 'set up' the problem; drawing a visual representation of the problem; writing intermediate sentences mixing words, numbers, and math notation; or paraphrasing the problem.3.Answer The student answers (solves) the problem. In finding the solution, the
student uses any aids from the previous 'Translate' step (e.g., drawings, physical counters). The student is mindful about what math operations touse and the sequence of steps to follow. The student also shows all work. 4.Review The student reviews the answer to the problem (checks his/her work). The
student rechecks calculations and makes sure that digits are clearly written and in correct place-value location. The student also considers the answer to make sure that it (a) answers the question posed in the problem and (b) appears reasonable.Procedure
When the student has been trained in the STAR problem-solving sequence, the learner is directed to use the strategy
on all assigned math word problems.The student is given copies of the organizer STAR: Solving Math Word Problems that appears later in this article -
one blank copy for each assigned problem. Students use the mnemonic STAR and the organizer to guide them
sequentially through the problem-solving steps. The teacher can then collect completed organizers to evaluate
student use of the strategy.Reference
