What does your child want to be when they grow up? A doctor? Engineer? A Pilot? Business Owner? Whatever their dreams are, they will need to solve lots of word problems on their journey to a career. The skills that they develop while solving those problems will be valuable in whatever career they choose.
This book is a ‘two for the price of one’ educational tool! Your student will develop their reading skills (analysis and comprehension) as well as the math skills needed to solve real-life problems.
Many students have the mathematical skills needed to solve equations using basic arithmetic operations. The challenges that this book addresses are the strategies and skills needed to read, understand, and analyze a word problem and to then formulate a mathematical equation that accurately represents the problem.
The word problems in this book are based on realistic situations in business, marketing, transportation, and healthcare to make them relevant to the student.
This book is designed to be used with guidance from a parent or tutor as the student works from simpler arithmetic problems to more complex problems involving basic algebra and geometry for grades 1-10.
There are four important strategies used to analyze and solve word problems:
1. Read carefully and slowly to understand the question.
2. Recognize and underline the key words and important numbers.
3. Recognize and disregard information that is not pertinent to solving the problem.
4. Identify the math operations needed to solve the problem.
Section 2 of the book includes a step-by-step solution to each problem that students should use to check their strategies and their results. Section 3 lists the correct answers to each problem for quick reference.
