Math Word Problems
This section will illustrate how word problems can be solved using block diagrams. Students, who have not yet learn algebra, can use the block diagrams to help them visualize the problems in terms of the information given and the data to be found. This allows the student to decide which operators to use: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication or Division.
For students who already know algebra, we have another section that consists of solving word problems using algebra.
In addition to block diagrams and algebra, we also have a section that uses other types of problem solving strategies.
