And it’s no wonder they do. Most of our students need to be able to solve all 4 types of word problems (joining, separating, part-part-whole, and comparing) with the unknown in all positions. This is no easy task. We learned that we need to TEACH our students the different word problem types and give them LOTS of practice solving problems. Once we began to do this, as well as incorporate number talks and numberless word problems, our students’ abilities to solve word problems soared to new heights. ————————————————————————————————————— THIS RESOURCE IS HELPFUL FOR: -Busy First Grade Teachers -Substitute Teachers -Special Education Teachers -Whole Group Math Instruction -Small Group Math Instruction -Math Intervention   Wishing you joyful engagement in your primary classroom. 580 pages
