What’s the best book for 6th grade math students to understand word problems?
Thursday, April 16th, 2009I have a student who completely understands math concepts behind a traditional math problem, but has trouble extracting the same math equation from a word problem.
So once an equation from the word problem is in front of him the student is fine, and can figure it out near-perfectly. But the language of the word problem distracts and confuses him.
What books are available to help students understand what a math word problem is asking?

How would you solve this math problem analytically?
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009This was my girlfriend’s extra credit problem last semester and no one in her class was able to solve it without using a calculator. Not even my girlfriend’s aunt, who is a high school math teacher, was able to solve it.
(7x – 2)^(1/3) + (7x + 5)^(1/3) = 3
I attempted both approaches in earnest and neither of them yielded anything I deemed useful. Thanks for the suggestions though.
