Solving Multistep Problems with Rational Numbers

In this video, three examples show how multistep problems with rational numbers are used, along with estimation practices, when working with three Georgia icons. Then, explore seven real-world situations involving business, industry, and entertainment in Georgia. Have you wondered where you might use some of this math? Multistep problems with rational numbers are all around us, and it is crucial to be able to work fluidly with these types of numbers.

What is this?
Hi there! This video and others like it are designed to include real-world, complex problems that require thinking and multiple steps to solve. Today, a shift is occurring in mathematics classrooms across the US to encourage problem-solving. I create videos to help teachers increase complex problem-solving opportunities in their classrooms and help students become better problem solvers. The mathematics targets middle-grades through traditional Algebra I students. Come explore a world of mathematics with me.
