How to solve Math Word Problems 4th Grade

Multi step word problems 4th grade - mage math, sharing buttons:.

00:00 hey there before we jump into the video

00:02 I want to tell you about our math video

00:04 game called mage math the game will help

00:06 your child feel more confident in math

00:08 and our math videos are inside the game

00:10 to really help your child succeed you

00:13 can find the game in all our videos at

00:15 mage math comm there will be a link in

00:18 the description as well hey guys I have

00:21 multiple problems I am dealing with

00:23 right now

00:23 I am lost in this place and I am also

00:26 being chased by a snake I think I lost

00:30 the snake I guess not

00:34 why don't you learn about multi-step

00:37 word problems while I solved my problems

00:39 - did you hear about my friend Tom Tom

00:44 biked 35 miles in June 73 miles in July

00:50 and 64 miles in August that's a lot of

00:54 bike riding how many miles did he bike

00:58 altogether let's use addition to

01:02 determine how many miles Tom biked in

01:04 total do you remember how we can add 35

01:08 plus 73 + 64 that's right we need to

01:15 stack our numbers lining up each place

01:18 value now we can add down in the ones

01:21 column 5 plus 3 plus 4 is 12 because we

01:28 can only write one digit below the ones

01:31 column we put a two below and we carry

01:34 the 1 to the next column

01:36 next we add down in the tens column

01:39 starting with the one that we just

01:41 carried 1 plus 3 plus 7 plus 6 is 17 we

01:50 can write 17 below just make sure the 1

01:53 is in the hundreds column altogether we

01:57 found Tom Road 172 miles have you met my

02:04 mom Lily she had 331 dollars to spend on

02:09 birthday gifts for her family Lily

02:11 bought a doll for 3

02:13 eight dollars and a tablet for $99 how

02:18 much money does she have left there's a

02:22 few different ways to solve this problem

02:23 but I want to start with figuring out

02:25 how much money she spent altogether on

02:29 the doll and tablet that means we will

02:32 add 38 plus 99 I'm going to start by

02:38 writing the addition problem vertically

02:40 and then I'll add the ones column 8 plus

02:44 9 is 17 I know I can only put one digit

02:48 below

02:48 so I'll write 7 below and carry the 1 to

02:51 the tens column now let's add in the

02:54 tens column one plus three plus nine is

03:01 Lily spent $137 total on the doll AM

03:06 tablet so how much money does she have

03:10 left if Lily started with three hundred

03:14 thirty one dollars and spent $137 we

03:20 need to subtract 331 - 137 just like an

03:27 addition we'll start by subtracting in

03:29 the ones column 1 - 7 hmm I cannot take

03:34 away 7 from 1 so we'll have to borrow

03:37 from the tens column cross out the three

03:41 write a 2 above it then we'll cross out

03:45 the 1 and write 11 this shows that we

03:48 borrowed now we can subtract 11 minus 7

03:52 which is 4 okay now we repeat the

03:57 process in the tens column we have 2

04:00 minus 300 I can't take away 3 from 2 so

04:05 we have to borrow again this time from

04:08 the hundreds column cross out the 3 and

04:11 write a 2 and now we will show our

04:15 borrowing by crossing out the 2 and

04:17 writing 12 now let's subtract 12 minus 3

04:24 great job

04:26 we're almost done now we need to

04:29 subtract in the hundreds column two

04:32 minus one is one

04:35 we found that 331 - 137 is 194 therefore

04:44 Lily has one hundred ninety-four dollars

04:47 left after she bought the doll and

04:49 tablet let's look at another problem a

04:54 soda factory can put sixteen sodas in

04:57 one box

04:58 they have already filled three boxes how

05:03 many boxes will be filled all together

05:05 if they have 78 more sodas first of all

05:09 that's a lot of soda if sixteen sodas

05:13 can fit into one box we will divide 78

05:17 by 16 to find how many boxes are needed

05:20 for those sodas notice this set up for

05:23 our division problem using the long

05:25 division sign 78 is the dividend and it

05:29 goes under the long division sign where

05:32 16 is the divisor so it goes outside and

05:36 to the left

05:37 we need to figure out how many times 16

05:41 goes into 78 hmm let's try 4 4 times 6

05:48 is 24 we will write 4 below the 8 and

05:52 carry the 2 above the 1 in 16 now

05:57 multiply 4 times 1 which is 4 but we're

06:01 gonna add to that we had carried 4 plus

06:05 2 is 6

06:07 therefore 16 times 4 is 64 next draw a

06:14 line and change the sign so we subtract

06:17 78 minus 64

06:19 we can do this in our place value

06:23 columns starting with 8 minus 4 which is

06:27 4 and 7 minus 6 which is 1 so 78 minus

06:33 64 equals 14 and since 14 is less than

06:38 our divisor 6

06:40 we're done with the long division and we

06:44 know that we have a remainder of 14

06:46 sodas so what does our answer really

06:49 mean we need four boxes to hold 64 sodas

06:55 plus one more box to hold 14 remaining

06:58 sodas in other words we need five boxes

07:03 to hold all 78 sodas let's revisit the

07:07 problem though the factory started with

07:11 three boxes and needed to add more for

07:14 the 78 sodas we just found out that we

07:17 needed five boxes to hold the 78 sodas

07:21 therefore altogether we need three plus

07:25 five equals eight boxes total to hold

07:29 all the sodas nice work

07:34 let's look at another problem the fifth

07:37 grade is taking a field trip to a local

07:39 museum they can fit eleven students in

07:43 each small bus and two buses have

07:46 already been loaded how many buses will

07:49 they take all together if they need to

07:51 load 58 more students we can use

07:56 division to find how many small buses

07:58 can hold 58 students if each bus holds

08:02 11 students we can divide 58 by 11 to

08:06 find the number of buses let's set up

08:10 our division problem 58 is the dividend

08:14 and it goes under the long division sign

08:16 and 11 is our divisor and goes out in

08:20 front of the sign how many times does 11

08:24 go into 58 without going over that's

08:27 right five times so multiply 5 times 11

08:32 which is 55 so we write that below and

08:36 then we're going to draw a line and

08:38 change the sign to subtract 58 minus 55

08:43 is 3 3 is our remainder and this means

08:48 that we have three students who will

08:51 also need an additional bus

08:53 so overall five buses will hold 55

08:58 students plus we'll need a sixth bus to

09:01 hold the last three remaining students

09:04 let's revisit the original problem the

09:08 schools already had two buses filled and

09:12 we need six more buses to hold 58 more

09:16 students altogether we need 2 plus 6

09:20 equals 8 buses nice work Shh I think I

09:29 lost the snake and found my way out I

09:33 guess not see you guys later thank you
