Mathematical Word Problems

<p>John Carty wrote this book to get parents involved in their child's mathematics education especially that aspect involving</p><p>word problems. It goes from age 10 to year 10 so you don't need any Calculus to do any of the questions. A sound grasp</p><p>of Algebra would help in many cases.</p><p>There are 777 questions across 7 categories (chapters) and John's ideal was a child could start doing 3 or 4 questions a</p><p>week and this way could be aged 16 before you get through all 777 successfully.</p><p>All answers are provided.</p><p>Hints for problem solving are detailed in the forward but are in no way exhaustive. In learning there is nothing wrong with</p><p>repetition and to go through some chapters 2 or 3 times would enhance maths problem-solving skills in many students.</p><p>In some cases there are what maths educators call 'elegant solutions' but in in others a parent may come up with a different</p><p>pathway to the correct answer.</p><p>John has been involved in using mathematics and in mathematics education all his life and feels bringing in the</p><p>parents is a possible strategy to increasing the capacity of a child's mathematical toolkit.</p>
