Description

Numberless word problems are a great way to get your 3rd grade students to use their critical thinking skills to help in identifying the operation needed to solve math word problems, rather than just guessing. These numberless word problems now have a digital distance learning option. These numberless math word problems come in two forms: A PowerPoint and Google Slides.

Do you have a student that just starts to add, subtract, multiply, or divide a problem without ever really figuring out what is happening in the story problem?

This is a resource that is created to help you teach word problem-solving strategies.

When the "act it out" strategy doesn't work for your student this is a phenomenal strategy to try.

This strategy works because students can't just add or subtract the numbers before they ever actually read the problem.

This product guides them through the thinking and reasoning as to why they are adding or why they are subtracting. If students learn reasoning skills this will help them with many subjects in school as well as in life in general (the real-world).

INCLUDED:

30 No Prep (DigitalPowerpoint and Google Slides) Addition,Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division 1 and 2 step word problems.

These problems start out numberless and then gradually show you the numbers and ask you to solve a problem.

If you need this to be printable you can print it as well.

I have provided a list of sentence stems to help you guide the students to think in the correct direction.

Answer Key is included for questions.

USES:

This can be used whole group, small group, tutoring, or during an intervention.

Lots of problems but doesn't meet the rigor of standard 3.OA.D.8

Met expectations

Great value

This resource contains a lot of examples of numberless word problems. However, I purchased this resource for standard 3.OA.D.8 in TN. This standard is for two-step, multi-operation contextual problems. The problems in this resource only have addition/subtraction or multiplication/division which is not to the rigor of the standard. I wish there had more examples in the preview so I could have verified this before I purchased it. The standard really needs to be removed from this resource to alleviate any confusion or misunderstanding.

This numberless word problems resource was a great way to get my students thinking deeply about math. It helped them focus on understanding the context and identifying key information before jumping into calculations. This approach built stronger problem-solving skills and gave them more confidence when tackling word problems.

CCSS3.OA.C.7

Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

CCSS3.OA.D.8

Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
