    The document provides information and examples on solving word problems using the RESA format. It explains that word problems apply previously learned skills and should not be feared. The RESA format is then described, with R for Representation, E for Equation, S for Solution, and A for Answer. Several word problems are presented as examples to show how to use the RESA process to arrive at the solution.

    • Word problems are applications of previously learned skills. (Recall your grade
    school years. Every time you learned a new skill, what did you do after
    mastering them?)

    • Word problems are nothing to be afraid of! Just remember: you have
    everything you need in order to solve them.

    • Mathematics teaches us how to solve problems in the classroom and in real


    life. In the next time that you are faced with a problem, don’t panic! Similar to
    solving word problems, first you need to come up with a plan.
