Mixture Problems - XTreme Math - The Bucket Method

WHAT???? MIXTURE PROBLEMS???? Those dreaded "mixture" problems always reappear when you least expect them! Students hate them and often cannot even figure out how to get started. Enter The Bucket Method!!!! This is a graphical approach to solving "mixture" word problems that helps students organize their data in order to solve these problems.

DrSigma did not create "The Bucket Method" but the good doctor did revise it to make it easier for students to use. Included in this packet is a graphical explanation of the process, a detailed walk-through of three separate examples, four worksheets -- each with four problems using the bucket organizer and an answer key with detailed solutions showing all work.
