    Knowing word problem vocabulary helps reduces the complexity of the application. Do you believe this?

    For example:

    Reduce = subtraction = less

    And = plus = more

    Product = multiplication

    Each = division

    Do you agree that learning the words listed here and others leads to success in terms of solving word problems? Why?

    vocabulary is crucial no matter what you are learning ( understanding key words is most important)
