Thank you so much. This is an amazingly helpful strategy. I'm trying to improve my mathematics to improve myself. Word problems have always intimidated me without some kind of step-by-step template to follow. I feel better now thanks to your video.
But are you sure that word problems means the math? There are multiple ways how to explain math, so does it mean that you cannot understand math if you dont do well in word problems?
im taking a asvab test tmr. there's gonna be every kind of math problem. im so nervous the anxiety is killing me. i feel a little more comfortable knowing this. thank you
I was forced to watch this TmT but the way you explained it all was amazing! I love how you broke down the parts of it. And your sense of humor on this whole thing too, thanks for helping :D
I came here to research about my presentation about solving the word problem (in hyperbolic groups) and even though it was not what I was expecting I really enjoyed the great video haha thank you!
Great video, using it in our elementary school math club today. One nit pick, units are important (and are actually emphasized in current curriculum). Leaving off the units is an incorrect answer for my students. So in the first problem hamburgers shouldn't be crossed out as it is important info.
I would have went with 12 because half of 24 is 12 but you got 6 because you did it twice. I would need more explanation on when to divide twice by half with those kind of word problems.
This was based on a sample question I saw on a standardized test. Because it was a work week, they counted it as 5 days (Monday - Friday) and so I made that question like that to show for my students in case they came across a question like that.
Thank you for uploading but I got confused on the second question and went ahead answered it before you gave the answer. My answer was 35 the reason why I got 35 is because week consist of 7 days then I multiply 3x5 which gave me the answer of 35.
That is the part of the question I tried to explain in the video. Because it is weekdays, not weekends, the week is 5 days. I saw a test question like this on a released standardized test question and I wanted to address it here so people could be prepared.
I'm trying to figure out: If I have a box with 50 slots in it, each slot holds 70 of only one item, and each time I put items in the box it's always 6 apples and 5 oranges every time. How many apples and how many oranges will fit in the box?
Thank you so much for explaining it! Grade 5 Math can be hard but anyways thank you so much rhis helped me alot especially during corona virus pandemic 🥰 stay safe! Kuya Eric! (Kuya means older sibling or older person in filipino showing respect)
Ok. I like but you are assuming something not in the math word problem. 5 hours per day x how many days per week? What if this were a trick question- military is 5 per week. I get it though. Thank you for the free lesson. 🥰🙏
I don't under stand in question 2 where "I spend 5hours in class each day" how you got 5x5=25. If it's each day in a week, should it not be 5x7=35 hours instead of $25 ?
Thank you very much, I have a very important question, please, when I put a picture in the word file, after several days or many weeks the pictures disappear , but words and tables are normal. What do I do because necessary for the master's thesis?
Technically it’s 5*7=35 since she wasn’t specific about how much days she just said each week and there are 7 days in a week but am not a math expert am just asking :), I completely understand why u would put 5*5 but she didn’t say Monday to Friday she said each week, correct me if am wrong please :(
Hi this comment is a year ago but I would like to explain! She dind't say monday to friday but mostly us students only take classes in monday to friday and saturday-sunday is our rest time basically meaning no classes at all :) I know that there are schools that have classes in saturday-sunday but the girl in the example probaly doesn't that's why he only included monday-friday. I hope you understand! My explanation is not really good due to english not being my first language.
