Word Problems and Logical Reasoning

Solving Real-Life Math Puzzles

Word problems use stories to test your math skills. You'll need to read carefully, break down the problem, and decide what math to use.

Steps to Success

  1. Understand the problem
  2. Identify what you need to find
  3. Choose the right operation or formula
  4. Solve and check your answer

Logical Reasoning

Sometimes, math problems require you to think outside the box and use logic or process of elimination.

Why This Matters

Word problems are a big part of the ISEE and real life—like planning a party or figuring out travel times!

Examples

  • Jane has 5 more apples than Sam. If Sam has 7 apples, how many does Jane have?

  • If a train leaves at 3:00 PM and arrives at 4:30 PM, how long was the trip?

In a Nutshell

Practice turning words into math and using logic to solve tricky problems.

Key Terms
