Using Models to Solve Multi-Step Word Problems

The video tutorial teaches how to solve two-step word problems by identifying operations and using problem-solving steps. It emphasizes visualization and drawing as tools to understand story problems. The tutorial demonstrates using bar models for larger quantities and highlights the importance of revisiting the problem to ensure all information is captured. By following a structured approach, students learn to solve problems effectively.

What is a common mistake when solving two-step word problems?

• Not reading the problem

• Not visualizing the problem

• Not performing both steps

• Not using a calculator

In the example with Jack and Jill's lollipops, what operation is used to find out how many lollipops Jill has?

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

What is the purpose of using a bar model in solving word problems?

• To make the problem look colorful

• To help visualize and organize information

• To avoid reading the problem

• To make the problem more complex

After finding out how many lollipops Jill has, what is the next step?

• Subtract Jill's lollipops from Jack's

• Multiply the number of lollipops

• Divide the lollipops equally

• Add Jill's and Jack's lollipops together

What does the final number 44 represent in the problem?

• The number of lollipops Jill has

• The total number of lollipops Jack and Jill have together

• The number of lollipops left on the hill

• The number of lollipops Jack has
