Story problems allow students to see how they will use mathematical concepts in class in real life. Learning how to add, subtract, multiply and divide is only half the battle. The skills are nearly useless if students cannot apply them to real-life situations. By integrating story problems into daily lessons, teachers can effectively ensure that their students understand how to use math in everyday life. Also, story problems help students understand the relevance of math. Through story problems, students can begin to see that the concepts they are learning are not only useful in school, but that they have inherent value due to real-world applications.
