Real Science: Solving Math Puzzles

Math can be fun! Science Educator Don Riefler talks through how to solve fun math puzzles.

Math Puzzle

Remember these tips:

  • Pictures are confusing. Turn them into letters.
  • Pay close attention to how many you have of each item.
  • Pay close attention to the signs.
  • If you make the same change (add, subtract, multiply, divide) to both sides of and equation it will still be equal.
  • Always do math in this order: Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract (and remember it with the mnemonic “My Dear Aunt Sally”).
