How do you figure out math problems

That is sort of a vague question, but in general you can:

1. Analyze the problem to identify:
a) What type of problem it is (word problem, algebra,etc.)
b) What the question is asking you (you must understand the question to do it)

2. Draw visuals (ex. venn diagram), graphs and tables to help you start the question

3. Create a plan to solve the question. For example the formulas and materials you need.

4. Try to solve the problem. This can be achieved in many ways. 

5. If you are having problems, refer to the internet or ask a friend, teacher, parent or tutor.
