“Algebra Word Problem: Interest Problems”

The Algebra Word Problem Tutor teaches students the skills needed to master Algebra Word Problems. Word problems are frequently hard for students to master because you have to learn how to read them, extract the information out of the problem and decide how to set up the problem for solution – and there are usually many ways to do this. This program teaches by examples how to set up algebra word problems and solve them. Many of the skills presented in this series are used in other Math courses, such as Physics What sets this program apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem. This program teaches students how to solve word problems that involve interest. Students are taught how to read the problem and what keywords to look for to gain clues on how to proceed and solve the problem. Students are then taught, for each problem how to set up the appropriate algebraic equation and solve for the unknown. All problems are fully worked with each step shown so that students learn how to proceed from the problem statement to the solution and every step in between. Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Algebra Word Problems.
