Distance word problems are a common type of algebra word problems. They involve a scenario in which you need to figure out how fast, how far, or how long one or more objects have traveled. These are often called train problems because one of the most famous types of distance problems involves finding out when two trains heading toward each other cross paths. This is great, thanks! I have found a lot of success in teaching students the structures of word problems to help them form an approach when solving problems. For example in grades 1 and 2, once they begin to focus on the difference between Result, Change, and Start unknown problems, they begin to pay closer attention to the question. They also become very capable at creating their own word problems of various types. The same has been true with the multiplication and word problem types for grades 3 and 4 and moving in to multistep problems. Your blog is a wonderful resource:.
