Word problems hide math inside a story. Your job is to find the hidden math and solve it. Don't panic — there's a strategy!
Use the CUBES method:
C — Circle the numbers
U — Underline the question being asked
B — Box the key math words
E — Evaluate your plan (which operation fits?)
S — Solve and check your answer
Key words by operation:
• Addition: total, sum, in all, altogether, combined, increased by
• Subtraction: difference, less than, left over, remain, how many more
• Multiplication: each, per, times, product, groups of, twice, triple
• Division: share equally, split, per person, how many in each group
Example: "Maya has 4 boxes of crayons. Each box has 12 crayons. How many crayons does she have in all?"
Key word: each → multiplication → 4 × 12 = 48 crayons ✓
Always re-read the question at the end to make sure you answered what was actually asked!

Ang mga word problem ay nagtatago ng math sa loob ng isang kwento. Ang trabaho mo ay hanapin ang nakatagong math at sagutin ito. Huwag mag-alala — may paraan tayo!
Gamitin ang CUBES na paraan:
C — I-Circle ang mga numero
U — I-Underline ang tanong na hinahanap
B — I-Box ang mahahalagang salitang pangmath
E — Evaluate ang iyong plano (anong operasyon ang angkop?)
S — Solve at i-check ang iyong sagot
Mga pangunahing salita ayon sa operasyon:
• Addition: total, sum, lahat, magkasama, combined, nadagdagan
• Subtraction: difference, mas mababa, natira, remain, ilan pa ang kulang
• Multiplication: bawat isa, per, times, product, grupo ng, dalawang beses, tatlong beses
• Division: hatiin nang pantay, split, per person, ilan sa bawat grupo
Halimbawa: "Si Maya ay may 4 na kahon ng mga krayola. Bawat kahon ay may 12 krayola. Ilan lahat ng krayola niya?"
Pangunahing salita: bawat isa → multiplication → 4 × 12 = 48 krayola ✓
Laging basahin muli ang tanong sa huli para masiguro mong nasagot mo talaga ang tinanong!
