Now is the time when math word problems are needed.

With the advancement of technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence, the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has begun.
Education is also changing in line with this.
The new curriculum is shifting toward fostering creativity and problem-solving skills, with a focus on growth and process, storytelling education, coding education, and expanded descriptive assessments.
Nowadays, the ability to create new knowledge is more important than simply knowing a lot of knowledge.

Because mathematics is a subject that requires logical thinking and problem solving, you can develop creativity and problem solving skills by looking at problems in various ways and finding solutions.
In particular, math word problems are very effective in developing problem-solving skills through the process of recognizing and solving mathematical situations related to real life.

But children who have difficulty with math word problems

These days, children are more familiar with pictures and videos than with text.
As a result, many people are afraid of math word problems that require a lot of reading, or they give up after trying for a little while.
The biggest challenge in learning math word problems is that they are so complexly intertwined that it's hard to know where to start.
However, most problems can be broadly divided into two categories.
It's because you can't 'read (understand the problem)' or 'write (solve the problem, find a solution)'.
How can I be struggling with reading and writing in math, not Korean? The problem arises because reading and writing in math are different from Korean.


〈Difficulty 1〉 “Why can’t I understand math word problems even though I read a lot of books?”
Reading and Understanding Problems “Mathematics reading is separate.” Reading the problem well does not guarantee a good understanding of the math word problem.
After reading the problem of 'Finding the number of breads when there are 8 bags of 9 pieces each', you will not be able to solve the problem unless you know that 'how many bundles of breads' is a mathematical expression that means multiplication.
Also, if you can't change the sentence into a multiplication formula, you can't use the solution process.
Like this, math word problems require the ability to read the problem and find and interpret the mathematical expressions, terms, and concepts hidden within the problem.
It also requires the ability to express sentences as formulas, or conversely, to read a given formula as a sentence.
You should develop your mathematical reading comprehension skills by solving various mathematical word problems.

〈Difficulty 2〉 “I found the answer, but why can’t I write the solution?”
Problem Solving and Writing Solutions “You have to be able to write to truly know.” When we look at the equations or solution processes written by children, they are often difficult to understand because they only list numbers without operation symbols or equal signs, or they are written as if they are talking about the solution process, so they are filled with unnecessary details.
Mistakes that occur frequently even though you know the answer are wrong, such as writing numbers incorrectly, writing the solution in a disorganized manner and missing a step, or writing down a previously calculated value incorrectly.
This is because you have not practiced writing equations and solutions logically.
Writing a solution is taking the problem-solving process out of your head and putting it out in front of you.
Simple problems can be solved in your head right away, but complex problems require you to write them down step by step, following the procedure.
If you don't have practice writing solutions at this time, you will inevitably be at a loss as to where to start and how to write the solution process.
In addition to writing addition and subtraction equations accurately, you should practice writing the solution process logically according to procedures, such as explaining it simply and clearly using mathematical terms and writing the process according to the problem-solving strategy.

Let's solve the miracle math word problem!

〈Miracle Solution 1〉 Reading and Understanding Problems “Practice reading problems using the key word reading method.”
When reading math word problems with information and conditions,
1.
Read the question, highlighting the keywords.

In math word problems, the key words are something to be found and something given.
In Miracle Math Word Problems, you can naturally learn how to read key words by underlining and circling them in each problem.

2.
We read math texts focusing on keywords.

Math reading comprehension is finding and interpreting mathematical expressions, terms, and concepts hidden in a problem.
In the Miracle Math Word Problems, you will be trained to easily understand math reading by organizing keywords (conditions) and recalling concepts related to keywords (mathematical terms), such as writing the meaning and characteristics of keywords.

Miracle Solution 2: Problem Solving and Writing Solutions "Strengthen your problem-solving skills with procedural learning."
Math word problems are solved using a four-step problem-solving process.

1.
Find out what the problem is asking for.
2.
Find out what is given.
3.
Think of a solution to the problem, then follow the steps to solve the problem.

4.
Check if your answer is correct.

Miracle Math Word Problems develops procedural problem-solving skills by training you to think in a given sequence of steps.
