The Fantastic Five-Step Process Solving Math Word Problems with Ease Powerpoint by: Ms. Milam Information from: Jill Safro

Read this problem… Every year, Wienerville, Wisconsin has a hot-dog-eating contest. This year, there were four contestants. Little Frankie Footer ate 58 dogs. His brother Benny ate 3 times as many. Their friend, Phyllis, ate 180. Her brother Doug didn’t eat any. Benny says he won the contest. Did he? How many dogs did he devour?

Step 1: What do we know? Read the problem carefully. What are the facts? Write down the facts….

We know that… Frankie Footer ate 58 hot dogs. Benny ate 3 times as many as Frankie. Phyllis ate 180 hot dogs. Doug didn’t eat any.

Step 2: What do we want to know? What is the question in the problem? What are we trying to find out? State the question. Determine how the answer will be labeled.

We want to know two things: 1. Did Benny win the contest? 2. How many hot dogs did Benny eat?

Step 3: What can we eliminate? Once we know what we’re trying to find out, we can decide what is unimportant. You may need all the information, but usually there is some extra information that can be put aside.

We can eliminate… The fact that Doug didn’t eat any hot dogs. Obviously he didn’t win the contest.

Step 4: Choose a strategy or action and solve. Is there an action in the story (for example, something being taken away or share) that will help decide on an operation or a way to solve the problem?

We know… Since we know that Benny ate 3 times as many as Frankie, we need to multiply Frankie’s total (58) by 3: 58 x 3 = 174

We also know that… Benny ate 174 hot dogs! That’s less than Phyllis’s 180. He lost the contest because 180 is a greater number than 174.

Step 5: Does my answer make sense? Reread the problem. Look at the answer. Is it reasonable? Is it a sensible answer given what we know?

It makes sense… 180 is higher than 174, and 174 is higher than 58. If the product was lower than 58, that would be a problem because the product of two positive numbers cannot be lower than the multiplicand.

Now it’s your turn…. Use the Fantastic Five-Step Process to solve the following problem… Sylvia Snead won $500 on the new reality show Who Wants to Do Howie’s Homework? She spent $25 on presents for her parents. She spent 3 times that amount on a purple poncho for her friend Paula. And she gave the rest to Howie. How much money did Sylvia give to Howie?

Follow the steps… The key for this problem is to choose an operation. Look for key words in the problem. What operation(s) should you use to solve this problem?
