Book excerpt: Word Problems. Does even thinking about solving word problems in math make you feel tense, anxious, confused, or frustrated? You're not alone. Most high school students - even ones who excel in their math classes - find word problems on the PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, and ACT tough to solve consistently and efficiently. Adult students preparing for the GMAT or GRE find word problems just as daunting as these were in high school. Most major publishers only briefly explain word problems and demonstrate simple examples in their study guides, but challenge students with very difficult practice problems. Even students in their test prep courses remain confused and lacking in confidence about how to approach word problems. All Your Word Problems Solved serves as an invaluable supplement to whichever test-specific study guide you prefer. This book will help you learn to systematically decode math word problems, set up the correct equations, organize your scratch work to "error-proof" yourself, and efficiently arrive at the right answer, every time. The strategies, approaches, techniques, and tips found in this book have been created and tested with students aged 15 to 40+ preparing for the most common standardized college and graduate admissions tests, including the GMAT, GRE, SAT, PSAT/NMSQT and ACT. In this book, you will learn a set of structured-but-flexible approaches which can be combined in different ways to solve even the hardest questions on your standardized tests. What makes this book so valuable? In the words of a GMAT student: "Clear explanation of how to organize your work and make sense of what you are actually solving for." Presentation of information is designed to accelerate your learning and improve your retention of facts, relationships, and formulas. Sample problems which demonstrate key methods progress in difficulty, so there is no huge jump between the examples and problems in the Official Guide. Refresher content and variety of examples for word problems related to concepts in Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Geometry. You'll find out how to recognize, approach, and solve word problems of many types: linear equations, exponential growth, ratios, proportions, age problems, work-rate, distance-rate, systems of equations, mixtures, dilutions, interest, profit, percent change, complex geometric figures, probability, permutations & combinations, weighted averages, sequences, patterns, functions and symbol problems.

Download or read book Conceptual Model Based Problem Solving written by Yan Ping Xin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you having trouble in finding Tier II intervention materials for elementary students who are struggling in math? Are you hungry for effective instructional strategies that will address students’ conceptual gap in additive and multiplicative math problem solving? Are you searching for a powerful and generalizable problem solving approach that will help those who are left behind in meeting the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM)? If so, this book is the answer for you. • The conceptual model-based problem solving (COMPS) program emphasizes mathematical modeling and algebraic representation of mathematical relations in equations, which are in line with the new Common Core. • “Through building most fundamental concepts pertinent to additive and multiplicative reasoning and making the connection between concrete and abstract modeling, students were prepared to go above and beyond concrete level of operation and be able to use mathematical models to solve more complex real-world problems. As the connection is made between the concrete model (or students’ existing knowledge scheme) and the symbolic mathematical algorithm, the abstract mathematical models are no longer “alien” to the students.” As Ms. Karen Combs, Director of Elementary Education of Lafayette School Corporation in Indiana, testified: “It really worked with our kids!” • “One hallmark of mathematical understanding is the ability to justify,... why a particular mathematical statement is true or where a mathematical rule comes from” (http://illustrativemathematics.org/standards). Through making connections between mathematical ideas, the COMPS program makes explicit the reasoning behind math, which has the potential to promote a powerful transfer of knowledge by applying the learned conception to solve other problems in new contexts. • Dr. Yan Ping Xin’s book contains essential tools for teachers to help students with learning disabilities or difficulties close the gap in mathematics word problem solving. I have witnessed many struggling students use these strategies to solve word problems and gain confidence as learners of mathematics. This book is a valuable resource for general and special education teachers of mathematics. - Casey Hord, PhD, University of Cincinnati
Download or read book Making Sense of Word Problems written by Eric de Corte and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Word problems have been a staple of mathematics instruction for centuries, yet the rationale for their use has remained largely unexamined. A range of findings have shown how students consistently answer them in ways that fail to take account of the reality of the situations described. This monograph reports on studies carried out to investigate this "suspension of sense-making" in answering word problems. In Part One, a wide range of examples documenting the strength of the phenomenon is reviewed. Initial surprise at the findings was replaced by a conviction that the explanation lies in the culture of the mathematics classroom, specifically the rules implicitly governing the nature and interpretation of the word problem genre. This theoretical shift is reflected in Part Two. A detailed analysis of the way in which word problems are currently taught in typical mathematical classrooms is followed by reviews of design experiments illustrating how, by immersing students in a fundamentally changed learning environment, they can acquire what the authors consider to be more appropriate conceptions about, and strategies for doing, word problems. Part Three turns to a wider discussion of theoretical issues, a further analysis of the features of the educational system considered responsible for outcomes detrimental to many students' understanding and conception of mathematics, and suggestions for rethinking the role of word problems within the curriculum.
