It’s figuring out what the problem is actually asking you to find. To help students with this, I like to help them recognize the different types of word problems. For one step word problems, there are part-part-whole problems and comparison problems. From there students can use reasoning and the given information to figure out the missing piece. I’ve created a FREE guide all about helping students do this with addition and subtraction word problems. Want your complimentary copy? 🙋‍♀️ 👉Comment

✨This chart has been SO helpful for my students when solving certain types of word problems. We do a lot of work with understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction, key words and making sense of a problem. It’s definitely not the only method I teach but this tool supports their thinking when working with part–part–whole problems (but it does not work for comparison problems). I originally saw a similar chart and then added the number bonds at the bottom to help students better

And it’s probably easier to teach them this way than you think 👇 Instead of just having students circle keywords, you’ll help them recognize the different word problem types: One-step word problems: - part-part-whole - comparison Two-step word problems: - story structure - 2 separate part-part-wholes - part-part-part-whole I’ve made a resource that includes slides that shows the difference to these and gives lots of examples. It makes introducing word problems easy. Then I give students plenty

I helped students recognize the structure of the word problems. Because once they see what kind of word problem it is, they can use reasoning on how to solve. We start with one-step word problems and then move onto two-step word problems. I also have students first work with word problems using numbers within 20. That way they can focus on the reasoning and not worry about working with big numbers. Once they get the hang of that, I have them work with word problems using numbers within 100. Teac

This is especially helpful for those tricky comparison word problems. If it is a comparison word problem, I want students to read back through and figure out who has more. That is the whole. So we label the whole with that person’s initial. That means the other person has less, so we are going to label a part their initial. Then we can read back through and fill in the numbers of the part-part-whole diagram. From there, students can see if they should add or subtract. It was a game changer once

Change word problems are not just “add” or “subtract” problems. They’re about what happens to ONE amount over time. If an amount increases or decreases, you’re working with a CHANGE structure: Start ± Change = End And just like total and difference problems, students might be missing: • the starting amount • the change • or the ending amount If they don’t recognize the structure, they rely on keywords. And keywords fall apart the second the wording shifts. In Part 2, I’ll show you exactly how I

This is a perfect example of why teaching keywords for word problems doesn’t work. The problem says “16 people left on the bus.” Many students have been taught that when they see the word left, it means subtract. But in this problem, subtracting isn’t actually the best way to think about it. When students learn to identify the structure of the problem first, everything becomes clearer. This is a change word problem where: • the amount decreases • we know the amount of change • we know the ending
