  1. The world is full of word problems. When we feel we have no control, and continue repeating negative thoughts, we set up barriers to success.
  2. We need to calm our fears and change our negative feelings. Start with a fresh slate and begin to think positive thoughts.
  3. The word problems applied math to everyday situations.
  4. We had to restate the situation in one sentence, assign a variable, and then write an equation to solve.
  5. This method works as long as the situation is familiar to you and the math is not too complicated.
