Word Problems

Today I can...

• Use key words/context clues to determine operation(s) and solve word problems

• Create/Use a number line to solve word problems

What is a word problem?

A word problem is a few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For Example...

Dauton wants to buy a new pair of Jordans for 155.00 and a new hoodie for 84.00. He only has 125.00 Saved up. How much more will he need to save in order to buy the J's and the hoodie?

What do you need to do first to start solving this problem?

Think about what operation you need to do first .. add, subtract, multiply or divide..

How many of you solved or wanted to solve it a different way?

SOLVING MULTI-STEP PROBLEMS USING A NUMBER LINE

Another Fun Strategy

A number line can be a helpful tool when solving multi-step problems.

So, 16m + 13m + 17m = 45m and Benji’s classroom is 45 meters from the cafeteria.
