Sounds like a communications problem, To the uninitiated mind, "known"That works. It's similar to what I still do in the small school now, and what I did in the large school before this. We usually read a sample problem out loud. Then I say, "What do you know? Write the facts down." They can write them as phrases or sentences. Such as: we know the speed in the beginning is zero. We know the speed at the end is xxx m/s We know the time is yyyyy sec. (I have already gone over what m/s means
and "unknowns" have nothing to do with units. Maybe you're taking too big
a logical step. Try putting the dialogeue at an infant level: "What do I
want you to tell me ?"
