Integer Word Problems Worksheets
How to Solve Word Problems - When we are studying math, one of the hardest questions that make you nervous, and you began feeling helpless, are word problems. It is one of the hardest things to convert English words into mathematical operations. Usually, when you have an equation to solve, the operations involved in solving the equation is pretty simple. But to figure out what the equation is where the problem lies. But don't worry, we have listed for you a few steps that can help you in solving word problems. However, it is important to remember that to get the hang of solving problems is to practice, practice, and practice more! 1. The first step requires complete attention and for that, you need to read the whole problem thoroughly. Don't stop and solving midway. Carefully read the entire problem. 2. Next, you need to work in an organized manner. Figure out what things you have, what you don't and figure out which variable stands for which operation. 3. Start looking for keywords that help you determine which operation needs to be solved; addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. Once you have figured out what needs to be done, all you have to do is start solving your problem! This selection of worksheets and lessons help students understand how to best approach word problems.
