Word Problem

Practice Workbook

To the Student This Word Problem Practice Workbook gives you additional examples and

problems for the concept exercises in each lesson. The exercises are designed to aid your study

of mathematics by reinforcing important mathematical skills needed to succeed in the everyday

world. The materials are organized by chapter and lesson, with one Word Problem Practice

worksheet for every lesson in Glencoe Math Connects, Course 1.

Always keep your workbook handy. Along with your textbook, daily homework, and class notes,

the completed Word Problem Practice Workbook can help you in reviewing for quizzes and tests.

To the Teacher These worksheets are the same ones found in the Chapter Resource Masters

for Glencoe Math Connects, Course 1. The answers to these worksheets are available at the end

of each Chapter Resource Masters booklet as well as in your Teacher Wraparound Edition

interleaf pages.
