Teacher Feedback:

❤️ "This is an amazing packet of word problems. I am using this with an ELL student that is also Special Ed. They way its laid out is easy to follow. One of the best parts is that it helps the student determine the operation to use for the word problem by asking two questions. It allows the student to start to think abstractly and not rely on key words that aren't always available. Nice JOB! Love all of the Math packets!" -Laura Nutto

About the Author

Hi! I am a Special Education & Title 1 teacher interested in task analysis. My resources break tasks into small and explicit steps, reducing cognitive load for learners so they can feel successful and confident rather than overwhelmed and reluctant to try. I also strive to lighten the workload of teachers by making resources as practical and easy-to-use as possible. I sincerely hope my work can benefit you and your students.
