Today’s ObjectiveSWBAT solve problems by working

backwards

Why? To solve real world

problems involving time and money

Why work backwards?

Working backwards from information you already know will sometimes help you solve a problem.

Problem 1

You are planning to go to a baseball game that starts at 1:00 pm. You want to arrive half an hour early. Your walk to the train station is about 10 minutes long. The train ride to the city takes ¾ of an hour. After you arrive in the city, you will need to walk for about 10 more minutes to get to the stadium. What time should you plan to leave?

Understand the problem

1. What do you want to find?

2. What is your arrival time?

3. How much time will you spend walking to the train?

4. How much time will you spend on the train?

5. How much time will you spend walking from the train?

What time you should leave home

12:30 pm

10 minutes

¾ hour

10 minutes

Let’s Work backwards

The game starts at 1:00

Subtract 30 minutes (because we want to arrive early)

Subtract 10 minutes we will spend walking to the stadium

Let’s Work Backwards

Subtract ¾ of an hour that we will spend on the train


Subtract the 10 minutes we will spend walking to the train


We should leave the house at 11:25

Your turn to try a couple… Make sure you…

– Show that you pulled the important information from the problem (3 pts)

– Show your working backwards steps (4 pts)– Circle your answer (2 pts)

Each problem is worth…9 pts!

Okay, I add the numerators and keep the denominators the

same.

Now, I have, a mixed number with an improper fraction?!?

That can’t be right…

Oh, I know I have to separate the improper fraction into a mixed number and add it to the whole

number I already had…

Yikes, I am taking away more than I started with… I think making these into improper

fractions first will make it less confusing.

I knew my answer was going to be negative, since I was taking away more than I started with.

Now I just need to make it a mixed number and I am done!

When I change it to a mixed number, I get to ignore the negative sign! (I like that)

Woot Woot…multiplying fractions is so much easier than adding

No more LCD’s…whoopee!!!!

I just make any mixed numbers or whole numbers fractions first,

right?

Can I pull any factors from the numerator or denominator?

My answer is negative because a negative times a positive always

whole numbers to fractions first. How did you get so smart?

Ugg..now what. I change it to multiplying by…what was that “r”

Oh yeah, RECIPROCAL. Dividing is the same things as multiplying by

the RECIPROCAL. I get it.

I like cancelling…can I do any cancelling?
