HOW TO SOLVE A WORD PROBLEM IN MATH The Simple Way By: Emmanuel Matteer Jr.

STEP #1—Read The Problem Carefully Glance through to get an idea of what the problem is about. Prepare to find and represent any known and unknown values.

STEP #2—DRAW A REPRESENTATION Create either a chart or a diagram to enter your un/known values Determine the type of illustration that is appropriate for use to the problem. [e.g., uniform motion, position, mixture, job, etc.,] Complete the chart in full.

STEP #3—CREATE AND SOLVE THE EQUATION Use the information from the chart to create the equation. Then solve for the unknown value IMPORTANT: Use common sense and logic when solving; for instance, don’t use any negative answers for problems that deal with real life [area, time, travel, distance].

STEP #4—ANSWER THE QUESTION NOTE: Just because you solved the equation for the unknown doesn’t mean that it’s the correct answer! Use the value that you have solved for to answer the question that they’re looking for. Check your answer to see if it is correct.

SOME HELPFUL TIPS Sometimes, take heed of how the teacher wants the problem solved. Always include the units with your answers. Be familiar with the rules of algebra, quadratic formula and other simple formulas, etc.
