This real-world word problem seems pretty complicated, but it's really not. It only takes four steps once you have an original expression to solve this problem. There are some negative numbers involved in this inequality. So don't forget...

Don't skip this word problem! Take one piece at a time in writing out this inequality. Once you have an expression that represents the words in this inequality, the rest will seem easy. So watch this video to get a better understanding...

One variable and two given values. Easy as pie, right? No, not for everyone. Word problems are often skipped over. This one is good for practicing. Identify the variable and figure out where the two given values go. Now solve.

A word problem, a triangle, monomials, exponents, what to do? The instructor explains how to set up this ratio in order to solve the problem and express it as a monomial in simplest form.

It just doesn't seem right to lose points when answer a question incorrectly. Well, that's what this word problem is all about. So calculate how many incorrect answers the team gave. Don't forget to flip the inequality when dealing with...

Create a percent proportion using the given values in this word problem. Not sure how to set that up? Then watch this short video and see how the teacher sets up this percent proportion according to the given values.

There is only one variable in this word problem. Yeah! So unpack the words and write them as a mathematical expression. Then make sure to use the order of operations to solve and arrive at the solution.

Word problems can be tricky. Lucky for you there are key words that can help you identify the operation needed to successfully complete any word problem. This tutorial helps you pick out key words and what those words indicate in terms...

Could anyone really eat 15 feet of a sub sandwich in one day? That's how much this math problem says he ate. He actually started out with a bigger sub sandwich. How big was it to start? The instructor uses a table to illustrate how you...

A word problem that needs to be written as an inequality to solve. This expression seems pretty straightforward and only takes one step to solve. But wait, the division property was used with a negative number so the inequality sign has...

A word problem with one variable and two given numbers. This word problem seems doable from the start. Wait, it's an inequality. Don't worry about that piece, just get the expression written and do the math. Watch this video and see how...

A word problem with just one variable. Definitely doable! Identify all the components in this word problem then write an equation. Now solve it using the properties of equality.

Two equations and two unknown variables in a word problem. Don't cry! Follow the instructor through these nine steps to find the solutions. Identify the variables, write the equations, solve for one of the variables, use the substitution...

Solve this real world word problem in just one written step. The original inequality is a division problem, so to solve it, use the multiplication property of inequality. Was the problem solved by multiplying a negative number? Yes! So...

Ingrid got some good advice from her father about building a bridge out of pasta. Now she has to do some calculations to build a strong pasta bridge. Figure out how tall she can build her bridge based on a given length. Two given values...

Don't panic! There is a pretty simple straightforward formula to solve this problem. Some of the words are a bit overwhelming: indirect variation, inverse, constant of variation, indirect proportionality. But one simple formula and just...

Apply the distributive property to multiply a monomial times a polynomial to get the area of a rectangle. Then use this information to solve a word problem.

This looks like a big word problem. There are four known values and you have to find one unknown value. How are you going to write out this inequality to solve it? Do you know what a compound inequality is? An inequality with an 'AND' or...

A word problem, a triangle, monomials, exponents, what to do? The instructor explains how to set up this ratio in order to solve the problem and express it as a monomial in simplest form.

Learning the algorithm for long division is no easy task, but this resource helps to break the process into manageable steps. Beginning with an explanation of basic division vocabulary, this presentation goes on to model long division...

Broken lights at the skating rink? Are there enough not broken to be able to see well enough to skate? Set up this real-world word problem and find the total number of lights in the skating rink. Two given values and one variable. Solve...

There is no better way to present a math problem than within the context of a story. Sal explains how he divides a fraction to solve a word problem where he must determine how many shirts can be made with 48 yards of fabric. Problems...

Sal uses a TI-85 graphing calculator to demonstrate how to check his work while he solves a complex word problem where he must use scientific notation to express his answer. This would be a handy video for an SAT prep or cumulative review.
