Pre-Algebra Baseball Word Problem Worksheet

The worksheet presents a logical problem involving four baseball teams (A, B, C, and D) that played each other once in a tournament. Team A beat team D, and it’s known that teams A, B, and C won the exact same number of games. Students are asked to determine the number of games team D lost, which requires critical thinking and deduction to solve.

The objective of this worksheet is to develop students’ abilities in logical deduction and understanding of round-robin tournaments, where each team plays every other team. It also teaches the concept of balance in round-robin results and the application of simple arithmetic to deduce the outcomes of the games. By solving this problem, students enhance their problem-solving strategies and their ability to infer and deduce information from a given set of data.
