Can you give some examples? What wasn't relatable, and what would make them more relatable to you? The only "word problems" I really remember are the "bob has 10 apples and gives alice 4" type, because most math problems became "word problems" as the math got more complex.
- mkr-hn 5y agoYes, that was what I struggled with. Who are these people and why do I care how they distribute their apples? I can understand the value of this kind of thing now, but it just frustrated me as a child, and the teachers weren't equipped to handle that frustration without making me the designated laughing stock.
