Short Answer

Expert verified

Experience in solving word problems has been very great. I had to face many challenges in solving the problems and learned different mathematical terms and vocabulary.

Step by step solution

Past experience solving word problems.

There is a process that is followed while solving a word problem. So, if we talk about past experiences, it's quite challenging and interesting to solve word problems.

Here, we translate word phrases into algebraic expressions, using some basic mathematical vocabulary and symbols.

Since then I鈥檝e increased my math vocabulary as I learned about more algebraic procedures, and I鈥檝e had more practice translating from words into algebra.

Write about seeing yourself moving forward.

The word problems applied math to everyday situations. We had to restate the situation in one sentence, assign a variable, and then write an equation to solve. This method works as long as the situation is familiar to me and the math is not too complicated.
Now we鈥檒l develop a strategy you can use to solve any word problem. This strategy will help us become successful with word problems.
So, here we have learned to challenge ourselves and to develop different strategies to deal with daily life problems.
