Students can often solve mathematical problems when given numbers and operators, but struggle to solve problems that are presented in other forms, like word problems. Additionally,before computers, mathematical problems were solved by hand, but now we have special calculators, built in formulas, and Apps to help us solve a lot of common problems.

Questions:

1. Describe your methodology for understanding and solving word problems. What method works best for you? Can you offer advice to fellow students when working through a word problem?
2. What are someresources(tools, websites, apps) that are available that you could use in your career to solve common work-related math problems?
