Grade offline workFrequently Asked Questions
Why does my child struggle with word problems?
Word problems require reading comprehension plus math skills. Teach a systematic approach: read carefully, identify what's asked, find the key information, choose an operation, and check the answer.
How can I help my child with word problems?
Practice identifying keywords (total, difference, each, shared equally). Draw pictures or diagrams. Start with simple one-step problems and gradually increase complexity.
Are word problems more important than computation?
Both are essential. Word problems show how math applies to real situations and develop critical thinking. Strong computation skills make word problems easier to solve.
