Math Word Problems


These lessons will illustrate how word problems can be solved using block diagrams. Students who have not yet learned algebra can use the block diagrams or tape 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. Block diagrams or tape diagrams are used in Singapore Math and Common Core Math.
