Category:FCP Real World Problem

A real world problem is a problem which resembles, as closely as possible, a mathematical problem that might have to be solved for a practical purpose. Such problems might include:
 * 1) Geometry problems that have to be solved in civil engineering and design.
 * 2) Algebra problems that have to be solved in finance.

Writing a Real World Problem
The following guidelines must be followed when writing a real world problem:
 * 1) A real world problem should be written by a person who has, in the course of their employment, been required to solve such problems.
 * 2) A real world problem should be written with high-school students as a target audience. Therefore, they cannot assume familiarity with specialized technical terms specific to the real world situation.
 * 3) A real world problem should be checked for accuracy, clarity, and solvability, by someone with a general mathematical ability.
 * 4) Metric units are preferred in real world problems, to maximize accessibility for a global audience.
 * 5) All illustrations accompanying a real world problem should be uploaded in SVG (scalable vector graphics) format, if possible.

Problem Semantics
A real world problem can be semantically linked to blocks, in the following ways: Synthesizes::Block 1 Synthesizes::Block 2
 * 1) A problem can synthesize material from multiple blocks, with semantic tags of the form:
