An organized method to solve problems. The 5 D’s stand for Describe/Draw, Define, Do, Decide, and Declare. This is a problem-solving strategy for which solving begins by making a prediction, and then confirming whether or not the result is correct. If not, information is gained about how close the trial is to the correct value, so that adjustments may be made. Being organized is extremely important to the success of this method, as well as writing a usable table. The 5-D process leads to writing equations to represent word problems.
