Description

Get students engaged with these Fall addition and subtraction word problems! Numberless Word Problems are an amazing tool for helping your students develop problem solving skills! These September math story problems are perfect for engaging first grade students!

Word problems can be tricky for students. Often, when students see a word problem, they immediately take the numbers and try to solve right away by adding or subtracting, rather than thinking about what is happening in the problem.

Numberless word problems allow students to focus on paying attention to understanding the problem instead of just finding the answer quickly! PLUS they are an easy way to differentiate word problems to meet the needs of all of your students!

These problems are perfect for a daily math warm-up! They could also be used at the teacher table for small group instruction, morning work, or math centers.

*Includes word problems with and without numbers!

This numberless word problem pack includes 20 different word problems that are Fall themed to help engage students during the month of September!

How I use Numberless Word Problems in my classroom:

I have found that students need daily practice with solving word problems in order to become independent problem solvers. I needed a way to practice every day without it becoming repetitive or boring for my first graders. They absolutely love these fun, seasonal story problems and are SO excited to see what happens in the new word problem each day.

We use these numberless word problems as a daily math warm up.

  • I display the problem (without numbers) on the smart board
  • We read the problem together (usually I read first then we choral read)
  • I give students think time and we go over the Problem Solving Questions (Poster Included)
  • Students discuss with their math partner through a Turn and Talk
  • We discuss what is happening in the problem and strategies that we could use to solve.
  • Finally I switch to the slide with numbers in the problem and give students time to solve on dry erase boards or their student work page.
  • Students share their strategies for solving.

I have seen such a difference in my students problem solving skills since implementing this daily routine! I hope it is helpful for your students as well!

What other teachers have said about Numberless Word Problems Year-Long Bundle:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love the versatility of these word problems. The idea of talking through the problem without any numbers to help determine what is happening is very beneficial, and I love that once my students have figured out what is happening in the problem, I can easily differentiate by having them use different numbers to solve the problem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am so glad I purchased this! It is so organized I love how cute and clean these products are! Thank you for all of your time and effort!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love starting my math each day with a word problem that I can differentiate for facts to 10 or 20. The students also look forward to seeing what the next day’s problem will be about! Thanks for this great resource!
