Solve Math Word Problems
Word problems often trip up even the best math students.
Many get stumped trying to figure out what they're looking to solve.
Without knowing what's being asked, students have trouble making sense
of all the critical information in the question.
Word Problem Solving
Most people are good problem solvers in their everyday
life. However, when it comes to mathematics, most people think of word
problems. Almost universally, students do not like or understand word
problems. Former students remember them with dread. And yet it is
important in the study of mathematics to develop a problem-solving
approach.
Basic Word Problems
A word problem in algebra is the equivalent of a story
problem in math. When you solved story problems in your math class you
had to decide what information you had and what you needed to find out.
Then you decided what operation to use. Addition was used to find a
totals and subtraction was used to find changes in values.
