Part 2 - Problem Solving

During this class you will encounter "word problems". That phrase often strikes fear in a math student. The better phrase is "application problem" since you will be applying a strategy/method/procedure to a variety of questions.

Information about problem solving is found in the e-text, which is accessed from the three horizontal bars in the upper left of the ALEKS screen.

Chapter 1 section 1-3 is titled Problem-Solving Strategies.

For this week study this section 1-3 (pages 28 - 34) and then draft answers to questions 2 and 3 in the Exercise Set at the end of the section on page 35. The response to each question must be in your own words.
