Decoding Word Problems

Crack the Code

A common complaint among students is that they just don't understand word problems. What are they asking for? What should I do? How do you know what to do? 

STEP 1: WATCH THE VIRTUAL CLASS VIDEO AND TAKE NOTES

Make sure to note the following:

In order to master the art of interpreting word problems, it is essential that you know two things. Where you are going, ie what you have been asked to "find", and where you are starting, the "givens". 

Refer to your GED® Formula sheet and print out the example problems to follow along with the video lesson.

Do you have a question about the class video, practice, or example problems? Post a picture to our FB group for immediate assistance. Be sure to include the lesson name and level in your post.
