Thinking Through Text

Word problems test your ability to turn stories into math. Logical reasoning helps you pick the right information and ignore distractions.

Steps to Success

  • Understand the Question: What is being asked?
  • Identify Clues: Highlight important numbers or words.
  • Plan a Strategy: Decide which operation or formula to use.
  • Check Your Work: Does your answer make sense?

Everyday Logic

Use logical reasoning to plan trips, organize events, or solve mysteries!

Examples

  • If a train travels 60 miles in 1.5 hours, what is its average speed?

  • Maria has twice as many stickers as Ben. If Ben has 7, how many does Maria have?

In a Nutshell

Solving word problems sharpens your logical and critical thinking skills.
