(Book 3) Say the words, �word problems� and you will see the majority of students cringe. Along with fractions, many students find the idea of word problems tedious and unnecessary. However, quite the contrary. We use words every day to verbalize our needs, wants, and desires. We complete word problems every day. Yet, it seems that once those same complex problems that we work daily are transferred to the pages of a mathematics book, homework assignment, or exam they become �undoable�. With a well-organized and consistent strategy, you will find the problems are doable. They require the critical thinking and problem-solving skills which you possess. Using the 7 Easy Moves Method, you will take an �I did it in my head� strategy and transform it into a format that reflects true understanding and application of mathematical concepts.
