Learning objective

What this activity builds

Keep written solutions, problem numbers and notes organized on a ruled page.

Worked example

How should a three-step solution be arranged?

Write the problem number near the margin and give each step its own line.

Aligned steps make it easier to follow a calculation and identify where a mistake occurs. Add a brief explanation when a step uses a new rule.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Agree on a simple layout for problem numbers and working.
  • Keep equals signs aligned where that clarifies a calculation.
  • Leave a blank line between unrelated questions.
  • Use graph paper when both horizontal and vertical alignment are important.
