19 word problem comics for addition and subtraction

and Active board Notebook projectable of the comics.

Use this product 15-20 minutes a day in large group or small group or once a week throughout the year.

Children 3-7 years old can devour word problems if they are introduced to them in a visual way. Use these comics to expose them to the vocabulary of problematic situations, to help them visualize simple one-step word problems, and to engage them in a discussion using mathematical reasoning.

Used also as an intervention tool for children 7-9 this collection of comics can help students review word problems and provide teachers with a scaffolding tool for struggling students who are having trouble solving word problems on their own.

To challenge students compare and contrast the scenarios in the comics.

A few K Common Core standards that are covered are:
