What information is given? What do you want to find out?

Ask yourself: What information is given in the problem? What do you want to find out? "So if I understand what I have and know what I want...I'll have a better chance of finding it." "Good math thinking and not bad philosophy." This poster reminds math students of the need to break the problem down into what is known (given) and what is unknown (what is to be solved for).
