What are Word Problems?
Word problems are math questions that describe a story or situation. They require you to think about numbers in real-life scenarios.
What is the R.I.C.E. Method?
R.I.C.E. stands for:
Read Carefully
Always read the entire problem at least twice. This helps to understand the details.
Look for Key Information
Highlight or circle numbers and words that might help you in solving the problem.
What is Being Asked?
Pay attention to the last sentence of the word problem. What is it asking you to find?
Keywords to Look For:
Decide on the Operation
Will you need to add or subtract? Think about the situation:
Example of a Plan:
Problem: "There are 5 apples and you pick 3 more."
Plan: Addition (5 + 3)
Solve the Problem
Now, do the math! Use your plan to find the answer. Don’t forget to write down your answer clearly.
Check Your Work
After solving, go back and read the problem again. Does your answer make sense?
Problem
"Lucy has 8 balloons. She gave 2 balloons to her friend. How many balloons does Lucy have now?"
Step 1: R - Read the problem carefully.
Step 2: I - Identify the question: "How many balloons does Lucy have now?"
Step 3: C - Create a plan: It feels like subtraction because Lucy is giving away balloons.
Step 4: E - Execute: 8 - 2 = 6. Answer: Lucy has 6 balloons.
Understanding with Visuals
Using pictures or drawings can help begin the understanding of word problems.
Example Image: {The image of a cartoon drawing of a girl named Lucy with 8 colorful balloons, happily giving 2 balloons to a friend, with numbers labeled near the balloons.}
Remember: Practice makes perfect! Try more problems using the R.I.C.E. method for better understanding.
