Use this chart and key word list to help your students recognize problem solving key words. Students get to place them words in the box with the correct math operation. They can work on this with a partner, team, or alone. You can also add your own key words to the list. This chart will be a handy tool for students to utilize throughout the school year. It can be kept in a math notebook or portfolio as an important reference tool.

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
