Do you ever wonder if your students truly understand word problems or if they're just relying on key words? This product will guide students into developing a deeper understanding of word problems by breaking them down into different types of word problems for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This product aligns perfectly to the Common Core Standards, and the types of word problems were identified by the CCGPS.
-joining problems
-removing problems
-parts and wholes
-comparing problems
-equal groups
-arrays
This product includes posters, a mini book for addition/subtraction and multiplication/division word problems, as well as 40 task cards.
This resource really helps students get a clear understanding of the different types of word problems as modeled in the common core glossary chart. Great way to strengthen conceptual understanding!
Love the posters and task cards to support students' understanding!!

Excellent balance of student solving and creating problems. This is sometimes forgotten and a very necessary step to really understanding what they are solving. Thanks!
Hi Ashleigh,
I really love these problem solving story cards I just downloaded. I just found a little mistake on one of them though. On the Comparing Problems - smaller unknown card Mark had rocks but then mysterously has apples! :) Also, I teach in Australia and we use kilometres instead of miles. Is there any way I could have word document of those pages so I can change it? Thanks for your hard work on this set. It's great!

I've corrected the comparing card, and I'll be happy to send you a version with kilometers. I'll email it to you if you send me an email. ashleigh_60@hotmail.com
