MathXplosion, Ep 48: The most important thing when solving word problems

SUBJECTS:  English, Maths

YEARS:  F–2, 3–4


It's very important to read problems carefully so you can determine the important facts and understand the questions you are being asked to solve.

You may find an answer using pictures and numbers, but if you didn't answer the right question, what seems right can actually be wrong.
