When teaching students about the different types of word problems, I would teach students each one in isolation first, before having students solve mixed-type of problems. This way they become familiar with what these problems may sound like. All the example problems in this unit are addition and subtraction within 20 as this is an introduction to the problem types.
In this unit you will find the following:
- Teacher tips & ideas for use
- Anchor charts for the following types of word problems:
- JOINING: answer unknown
- JOINING: change unknown
- JOINING: start unknown
- SEPARATING: answer unknown
- SEPARATING: change unknown
- SEPARATING: start unknown
- PART-PART-WHOLE: whole unknown
- PART-PART-WHOLE: part unknown
- COMPARISON: difference unknown
- COMPARISON: larger quantity unknown
- COMPARISON: smaller quantity unknown
- 44 practice problems (each one labeled)
- 4 different practice sheets for each of the above word problem types
- 11 mixed word problem practice sheets for students to determine type of problem, then solve (within each of the 4 main categories)
- 6 problem type sorts:
- 3 problem sheets without numbers for students to determine which type of problem is being asked.
- 3 problem sheets with numbers for students to sort and solve.
- 15 editable worksheets without numbers so you can add numbers to make them more difficult for students to answer
- STRATEGIES TO SOLVE anchor charts!
