    Thank you so much. This is an amazingly helpful strategy. I'm trying to improve my mathematics to improve myself. Word problems have always intimidated me without some kind of step-by-step template to follow. I feel better now thanks to your video.

      But are you sure that word problems means the math? There are multiple ways how to explain math, so does it mean that you cannot understand math if you dont do well in word problems?

    Great video, using it in our elementary school math club today. One nit pick, units are important (and are actually emphasized in current curriculum). Leaving off the units is an incorrect answer for my students. So in the first problem hamburgers shouldn't be crossed out as it is important info.

    If I have a box with 50 slots in it, each slot holds 70 of only one item, and each time I put items in the box it's always 6 apples and 5 oranges every time. How many apples and how many oranges will fit in the box?

      Answer:

      This was based on a sample question I saw on a standardized test. Because it was a work week, they counted it as 5 days (Monday - Friday) and so I made that question like that to show for my students in case they came across a question like that.
