Resource Title:Word problems for kids
Description:This Internet site, established with support from Canada SchoolNet and Industry Canada, contains word problems for students and teachers grades 5 to 12. The problems, selected with the goal of improving problem solving skills rather than preparing students for competitions, are classified into grade levels. Each problem contains a link to helpful hints as well as the solution. Students are encouraged to carefully think about how they would solve a problem and to make sure that they understand all parts of the solution after they are finished with it. As an example of the site's contents, for grade 8 there are 51 problems including questions about comparing payment plans for buying a car, figuring dating combinations for four boys and four girls, calculating the volume of a stack of papers, and using weather data found on a graph. The complete solutions to problems are available to teachers upon request by e-mail. Abstracted 08/98. (JRS). Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC).
