We ALL know how hard it is to teach kiddos how to We ALL know how hard it is to teach kiddos how to navigate and solve word problems... WELL... have you ever tried taking away the numbers and just providing students with the problem itself? I went to a training last year about Three Act Tasks and learned more about this amazing strategy. It really helps students UNDERSTAND problems and how we solve them. As soon as they see the numbers, they can become overwhelmed and lose sight of what the problem is asking. By eliminating the numbers... it helps them focus on the solving and truly thinking about the problem. We noticed a HUGE improvement with word problems last year when we began like this with students. They had a much deeper understanding when we added the numbers back and did a great job!! So if you haven’t tried numberless word problems yet.. you should DEFINITELY give it a try! 😍
How do you help students solve word problems?
