Equations+Word+Problems

=Equations Word Problems= Many word problems in Mathematics involve writing an equation and then solving it to obtain a number answer. First we need to know how to translate the words into Algebra. If you are not sure about how to do this, then click the link below to go to our lesson about translating word problems. Translating Word Problems into Algebra In today’s lesson, we will be looking at a few YouTube videos which show examples of the common types of equations word problems. Here is a basic Division Word problem. media type="youtube" key="LGZB0VBpBrg?feature=player_embedded" height="360" width="640" Here are a couple of typical word problems. Both of them involve solving equations. media type="youtube" key="p_WY57ytQkQ?feature=player_embedded" height="360" width="640" The following videos show some hints and ideas about how to do a number of the common types of word problems that involve equations.
