Algebra foundations, geometry, and mathematical modeling for eighth grade students.
Word problems can seem tricky, but breaking them into smaller parts makes them easier. Start by reading carefully and underlining key information. List out what you know and what you need to find. Translate words into math symbols and equations, then solve step by step. Checking your answer at the end ensures you didn't miss anything.
Underline amounts and question words, then write an equation.
Draw a picture or diagram to help visualize the problem.
