The SOLVE 2.0 Strategy: Instructor's Manual guides teachers step-by-step through the Eight Stages of Instruction used to teach the SOLVE problem-solving process. Grounded in explicit instruction and culturally sustaining pedagogy, it builds on the Tier 2 mathematics intervention validated through research with students with learning disabilities. This manual extends the model to reflect the lived experiences, languages, and learning profiles of today’s classrooms, including those who are marginalized and historically underrepresented.

Lessons feature clear modeling, guided practice, and scaffolded examples that help students learn to analyze and attack word problems—giving them a starting point, which is often half the battle. Color-coded teacher cues throughout the manual make the stages of instruction easy to follow and implement. Created as the classroom companion to the SOLVE 2.0 Facilitator’s Manual, this resource equips educators to deliver problem-solving instruction that is relevant, inclusive, and effective for ALL learners.
