IWTL How to get better at math word problems.

Holy shit it's my cake day I just realized.

Hopefully this helps.

First: read it through all the way. Second: Go through and find what exactly it is asking. Third: Separate the things you need to know from parts that are just side tracking-- that is if there are any. Fourth: Go back and put all the parts into an equation that you need to help you. Fifth: Solve.

It also helps to circle and underline key parts as well as crossing out things that are useless.
