Do your students get frustrated with word problems? Do they struggle to understand when to add and when to subtract?
Word problems have always been a source of contention for my students, and have always been something I’ve taught haphazardly as part of an adopted math curriculum.
I used to teach my students to use key words, underline, and circle, highlight, and box...and yet, it didn’t help. My students didn’t understand or perform any better. It didn’t help that I wasn’t consistently teaching or letting my students practice solving word problems.
When I started teaching word problems (or math stories) in a consistent, strategic way my students became less frustrated, and much more proficient word problem solvers.
Now, I follow a 4-day teaching plan, and assess on day 5. I no longer teach key words or underlining, circling, highlighting, and/or boxing...instead, I teach my students to look for patterns in how word problems are structured... word problem situations. In addition, I dedicate 5-10 minutes each day for word problem teaching and practicing.
My hope is that by using this curriculum, your students will learn to look at word problems like a detective, and search for the situation within the words.
