I am tutoring a student who REALLY struggles to decode word problems and get to what they are asking her to do - this was a helpful sort, we did it together and now she refers back to it when solving word problems.

I've been consistently satisfied with the purchases I've made on Teachers Pay Teachers. The resources are well-organized, easy to download, and ready to use in the classroom. Each product typically comes with clear instructions and aligns well with learning standards, which saves a lot of planning time.

My students were struggling with understanding what operation to use to solve multi-step word problems. This was a great small group resource to revisit those operational words and build their confidence.

This was a great resource to do with my Kinders who were getting used to adding and subtracting. This helped them gain more clarity between which sign to use.

I liked using these questions for my students who are still learning how to answer word problems. There was a variety of problems, which is what I was looking for!
