Math Word Problems For Dummies


About This Book

Quote:
Math word problems are really a part of life. Pretty much everything is a word problem until you change it into an arithmetic problem or algebra problem or logic problem and then solve it. In this book, you first find the basic steps or processes that you use to solve any math word problem. I list the steps, illustrated by examples, and then later incorporate those steps into the different types of word problems throughout the rest of the book. The same basic techniques and processes work whether you’re doing a third-grade arithmetic problem or a college geometry problem. You’ll see that I use the processes and steps over and over in the examples — reinforcing the importance of using such steps. Because the steps are carried throughout, you can start anywhere you want in this book and be able to either backtrack or jump forward and still find a familiar friend in a similar step. The different types of word problems are divided into categories, in case you’re only looking for help with age problems or in case you’re only interested in interest problems. Most of the examples have a firm basis in reality, but a few are off the wall, just because you need to have a good sense of humor when dealing with math word problems.
