Factual Fluency

DJO: Self-directed Learner

Note Taking

DJO: Critical Thinker & Self-directed Learner

STAR Heuristics Package

(STAR Hpack)

STAR

• Model Drawing• Draw a diagram• Guess and Check• Before & After concept• Work backwards• Restate the problem in another way• Assumption / Supposition

Types of Heuristics

Husna has 4500 paper cranes. Jerry has 350 more paper cranes than Husna. Shu Ying has 679 more paper cranes than Jerry. How many paper cranes does Shu Ying have?
