It occurs sometimes. If I am doing a mth problem and I make two negative sign mistakes... I get the right answer.

Referring  to URL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_problem might be of some help to you:\n\nThe term word problem has several meanings:\n\nFor a mathematical problem written without heavy reliance upon mathematical notation, see Word problem (mathematics education). \nFor the word problem for encodings of sets in mathematics and computer science, see word problem (mathematics). \nFor the word problem for groups, see word problem for groups

Well. Do you know how to work rational expressions in general? The first link below is a useful general resource and has a section on rational expressions and polynomial long division; the second is specifically on rational expressions at college intro-level.\n\nI used to tutor math and I found that most people's difficulty with word problems was not the actual math, it was extracting the appropriate equations from the words. Once they had the equations, they could solve them (assuming they'd learned the basics). \n\nI'd find it pretty difficult to give you general guidelines on "how to solve word problems with rational expressions" but the main trick with word problems is to figure out a) what variables are involved, and assign each of them a letter (e.g., speed of first train is x, time it has been travelling is y, speed of second train is z...), b) sort out the relationship between them (e.g. x = 2z/5), and c) make sure you know what *exactly* is being asked. It is not at all uncommon for word problems to include extraneous information (colour of train, age of driver) to muddle the issue.\n\nYour best bet is almost certainly to go ask your teacher, professor, TA, tutor, study group, or classmate-who-understands-it for help. They will be better able to figure out where your problem is if they can watch you work through an actual example.

do lot of question of math--read historiy and socil books-reply to cross words--eat green vegtable

If you're really bad at math.

Here is a way to find more problems than you probably want to do - go to Google, and search for:\n\n"algebra I practice questions"   \n\n(grade 9)\n\n"geometry practice questions"\n\n(grade 10)\n\nBe sure to use the quotes.  I just tried and hundreds of nice sites woth good problems appeared.  Good for you for wanting to learn on your own!

Good question. I'm curious to see some of the answers myself. I 'outgrew' my dyslexia, but I still have some problems, and I have been curious if they are related. I am terrible at math for one, I still do have some problems reading, usually only when I read out loud. When I go to jot down a phone number I will sometimes mix up the numbers. (write down the last bit backwards, or inverted). Sometimes I don't seem to make sense to people, it sounds right in my head, but I have a hard time getting my point across. I feel like maybe their is a short circuit somewhere, and things get mixed up and backward on the way out.

Yes, many people do know how to solve that problem.  They learned it the same you should: read your book, go to class, talk to TAs, and do your own homework.

I think most Math teachers show students how to do problems not why they're done that way.Once that building block isn't there they struggle especially in higher Math where your expected to be at a certain level of knowledge.

Surely,you can do it.It reduces your head-ache of doing big multiplications and any proess which reduces your work-load but gives the correct answer is vaid.To tell you frankly,in higher classes,that is the procedure we follow to solve a problem in a quicker way.

I majored in math in college.  All my professors said the hard part about math is the English.  If you cant read it properly then you cant do the problems.  Another part is people dont want to learn the postulates and theoroms needed to solve the problems.

Absolutely!\n\nSpell check, word count, copy and paste - we're basically creating lazy children.  It's even worse in math, where kids can't seem to do the basics because calculators and cash registers can basically do it all for them.

Well, I'm writing from many years of experience with similar problems. It is possible to have other problems along with a specific learning disability involving math; "applied problems" sounds like it could be math related, but also extend beyond just the numbers. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are perfectly able to explain a process or a problem in a classroom lecture, but when you go to put it down on paper or use it in a totally different context, it just isn't there, or it gets jumbled and doesn't come out right? I found this happening to me not only in school, but on the job, and it has been significantly troublesome. This is an "application problem", i.e., where you know the information and can spit it back in a school-type situation, but cannot actually APPLY it to other, unrelated situations when appropriate. Did this psychologist make any mention of attention problems, executive function deficit, or information processing issues? Just curious...specific LD in math can exist as a separate entity or it can be part of a wider pattern of cognitive problems involving things like visual perception, motor skills, and the like.\n\nLuckily for people like us, 95% of life is NOT math related.  There's a ton of information out there about these kinds of LDs and the troubles they can cause.

How about "Math -  Does it really add up?"

When I do word problems, I break it down into manageable chunks.  After reading the entire problem once to get a sense of what I'm dealing with, I re-read each sentence one at a time and try to write down in mathematical terms what each sentence is saying.  Often each sentence is only a portion of the overall equation, but I find if I tackle it like this, I can piece together the overall equation by looking at all the partial equations I got from each sentence.\n\nHope this helps a little.  Good luck!\n\n~ ♥ ~

You'll need to restate that problem.\nIt's not solvable as written.
