While solving word problems, suddenly the child forgets language. Is it due to math fear or maybe, dislike? It's a matter of research and debate, what I have observed is that does not relate to the concepts and lessons taught. Also there are certain techniques that can make word problems easy to solve. Steps for solving them:
1. Read the problem twice.
2. First identify 2 points - a) What is given ? b) What is to be found out?
3. Further questions: i ) what is the related topic. ii) What is the concept to be applied to solve it? iii) What are the steps to be done to solve it?
4. Most important - What confuses her and what is clear?
