Solving Word Problems with Percents

This problem solving PowerPoint presents a detailed, logical sequence of steps to follow in order to solve a story problem. The thinking processes described are given in text and represented by a visual model. After discussing the...

Show your class all the hard work you have put into their lesson by showing this PowerPoint presentation. They will not only be proud of you, but it will help them solve multiplication and division word problems using the algorithms.

This video focuses on three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.

Word problems are a problem no more with this helpful and informative video. Sal demonstrates different ways to solve typical algebraic word problems (and one geometry problem), especially how to translate the word problem into an...

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

In this word problem, the skill to remember is to match up the similar measurements. This means the inches match up with the inches and the feet match up with the feet measurements. This problem is a ratio and is written as fractions....

So x amount of people were surveyed and 68 of them said algebra was their favorite subject. Set up a percent proportion to identify the number of people surveyed. That's often the hardest part, setting up the equation. So observe the...

If you are looking for an end-of-the-year math assessment, then this lesson could be for you! Your mathematicians are assessed on their ability to solve difficult, multi-step word problems that take quite a bit of thought and...

Your algebra learners will pick up some solid algebra problem solving skills and a plan of approach for some typical types of word problems in this scripted worksheet that shows how to set up and organize each type of problem,...
