Demystifying the Learning of Verbal Problems with Hands-On
Equations® Many students struggle with verbal problems. They do
not know where to begin. They often give up before trying. Yet,
being able to understand and solve verbal problems is essential
to success in school mathematics and to success in many
technical careers. After a brief review of how Hands-On
Equations is used to solve an equation such as 4x + 3 = 3x + 9,
we will consider how problems such as the following can be
demystified and made accessible to all students. - Five times a
number, increased by 2, is the same as three times the same
number, increased by 12. Find the number. - James and Jack have
the same number of pencils. James has four boxes.
