We are continuing our work with word problems. Remember to label the facts and the unknowns in order to
write an equation. We will be using everything that we have practiced,
so be prepared for any kind of equation. Use drawings when shapes are
involved. When you are finished solving the equation, go back and read
the problem and give the necessary information, including units.
