Word Problems and Logical Reasoning

Cracking Word Problems

Word problems combine math with reading to test your understanding. You’ll learn to pick out clues, set up equations, and solve for unknowns.

Steps for Success

  1. Read the problem carefully.
  2. Identify key numbers and what’s being asked.
  3. Choose a strategy—draw a picture, make a table, or write an equation.
  4. Solve and check your answer.

Logical Reasoning

Sometimes, you’ll need to use logic instead of calculations. Look for patterns, eliminate wrong answers, and use what you know to make smart guesses.

Formula for Success

\( \text{Total} = \text{Number of groups} \times \text{Items in each group} \)

Word problems and logic are everywhere—from planning a party to figuring out travel times!

Key Formula

\[\text{Total} = \text{Number of groups} \times \text{Items in each group}\]

Examples

  • Figuring out how many pizzas to order for a party if each pizza has 8 slices.

  • Solving a riddle about who sits where at a dinner table.
