WORKING WITH "WORD PROBLEMS"
- UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM WELL:
READ THE PROBLEM CAREFULLY
Sentence by sentence, making sure to understand each word and idea well. Rewrite each idea in another form, preferably a drawing or an equation, to make sure it is all CLEARLY understood.
DO NOT PROCEED, UNTIL EACH WORD AND SENTENCE GIVEN IS CLEAR
- Look again at the specific question, and TRY A SOLUTION, making sure it works for each and every sentence read
- IF OK, we are done. IF ANYTHING IS SUSPICIOUS, GO BACK AND RETRY A PREVIOUS STEP.
