Answering Word Problems

Ask yourself the following question:What approach do I take to answering a word problem in math class?Discuss the question with your partner, in 3 minutes I will ask you to share your approach with the class.Ex: I read the question at LEAST twice before starting the problem

Answering Word Problems

With your partner, come to the front board and share your strategies to answering word problemsIf you agree with another group, write your initials next to other strategies

Questions to Ask yourself

1. What is the question asking me to do? 2. What information is the question giving me? 3. Is all the information I’m given relevant?4. What approach/strategy should I take to find an

answer?5. Is there anything in my data booklet that could

help?

Word Problems Practice1. Take out your Data Booklet and collect a ruler, calculator and at least 2

pieces of paper

2. One partner will sit facing the board the other with their back to the board (do not turn to face the projection at any time)

3. The partner facing the board will use verbal cues to guide his/her partner

4. The partner facing the board is NOT allowed to write or use ANY visual cues (i.e. pointing)

5. The with the back to the board will solve the problem with the guidance of their partner

Easy to HardWe will start nice and easy…Please start by drawing the objectPlease show ALL work and calculations

Partner 1Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 5 m and a width of 8 m.

P = 5m + 5m + 8m + 8m = 26m

Partner 2Find the circumference of a circle with a radius of 2 m’s.

C = π x 2 x r C = π x 2 x 2m = 12.6m

SWITCH

Partner 1What is the area of a rectangle with perimeter 177.6 mm and base length 39.9 mm?P = 2 x W + 2 x LW = 48.9 mmA = W x LA = 48.9 mm x 39.9 mm =1951.1 mm

Partner 2If the base of a rectangle is 22 cm and the area is 484 cm2 , what is the height of the rectangle?A = b x h ÷ 2H = A x 2 ÷ bH = 484 cm2 x 2 ÷ 22 cm = 44 cm

SWITCH

Partner 1Find the area of a pie that measures 20 cm’s from one side of the pie through the middle to the other side.r = D ÷ 2R = 20 cm ÷ 2 = 10 cmA = π x r2 = π x (10 cm)2 = 314.2 cm2

Partner 2Find the 2-D area of Ancient Redwood tree stump that measures 3.14 m around the stump.C = 3.14 mr = C ÷ (2 x π) = 3.14 m ÷ (2 x π) = 0.5 mA = π x r2 = π x (0.5 cm)2 = 0.8 cm2

SWITCH

SWITCH

Partner 1The top of a costume hat is shaped like a triangular pyramid, as shown below. How much black felt is needed to cover the sides of the pyramid?Ans: 148.5 in2

Partner 2When the butterfly net shown below is fully extended, it forms the shape of a cone with a diameter of 12 inches and a slant height of 26 inches. Calculate the amount of mesh material needed to make the butterfly net. (note: the opening of the cone does not require mesh.

Ans: 490.0 in2

SWITCH
