📋 EA Field Guide (How to Implement)

🎒 Materials & Location

• Where are the physical tools stored? Laminated 4-Square Math Template, highlighters, dry-erase markers.
• Digital links/files to print replacements:

🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

1. Box 1 (What I Know): Student highlights given numbers/facts in the word problem and transcribes them into Box 1.
2. Box 2 (What I Need to Find): Student identifies and underlines the target question/unknown.
3. Box 3 & 4 (Diagram & Solve): Student draws a visual model in Box 3 and writes/calculates the final equation in Box 4.

🚨 Troubleshooting & Avoidance (When things go wrong)

• If the student gets stuck writing: Allow them to draw pictures or use stamps/numbers directly in the organizer.
• What NEVER to do: Do not present dense paragraphs of word problems without offering the graphic organizer scaffold.
• Signs of frustration: Sighing, putting head on desk. Assist with filling Box 1 to initiate momentum.
