Math Thinking Patterns Posters FREE
Thinking Patterns are a problem solving strategy to help students understand which operation to use during word problems. Many students struggle with word problems because they cannot visualize what is happening in the scenario. Thinking patterns help students connect their visualization with an operation.
The following items are included in this packet:
5 - Thinking Pattern Posters
The thinking patterns are divided up into five basic operations.
Some and Some More – Addition Poster
Some and Some More or (SSM) for short is used in a scenario when a character in a word problem has “some” of an object and gets “some more”.
Some Went Away – Subtraction Poster
Some Went Away or (SWA) is used in a scenario when a character in a word problem has “some” of an object and “some goes away”.
Bigger Smaller Difference – Subtraction Poster
Bigger Smaller Difference (BSD-) is used in a scenario when a two or more things in a word problem are compared to one another.
Equal Groups Put Together – Multiplication Poster
Equal Groups Put Together (EGPT) is used in a scenario when equal sized groups are put together for a total.

Math Thinking Patterns Posters
Met expectations
Great value
Great for my math corner! My students loved using them as references.
My students have become very successful with math word problems because of this resource!
These posters are so crisp and clear. The thinking patterns helped my students be able to more easily decipher what operation or operations word problems require.
This perfect for problem solving!
Thanks!
My students really enjoyed this activity. It helped to bridge engagement and learning.
Learning how to think through problem-solving questions can be so hard for some students. These thinking patterns are so helpful and easy-to-read posters help them decide which one is needed. Great work!
Perfect for my math intervention class. Thanks!
