What is the meaning of AGONSA in math?

Answer 1

AGONSA is an acronym for

Asked, Given, Operation, Numbers, Solution, Answer.

It is a step-by-step guide to solving problems - mainly in mathematics but, with a little modification, in the wider context as well.

1. Asked: What does the question ask you to do?

2. Given: What information has been provided in the question. It is possible that some of the information is not required, but leave that to later.

3. Operation: Think about the question and decide what operations, and in which order, you need to perform. Generally these will be the four basic binary operations (+, -, x, /). While the operations could be more advanced, you will probably no longer need AGONSA by then.

4. Numbers: Identify the numbers on which you need to perform these operations. Some of these will be given to you explicitly. Others (eg number of grams in a kilogram) you may be expected to know. Still others you may be expected to work out - using a second level AGONSA.

5. Solution: Carry out the operation on the numbers to get the solution.

6. Answer: Write the answer.
