Description
Schema-based instruction teaches students to look at the schema, or underlying structure, of each word problem. Schema-based instruction in solving word problems in math is especially effective for students with learning disabilities, such as dyscalculia, but it can be helpful to all students who struggle with math word problems.
This product includes 24 total word problems for each of the three additive schemas (change, combine, and compare) plus an additional 24 review problems of mixed types. Because these are additive schema problems, addition or subtraction is used to solve each problem. The numbers used in the problems are deliberately kept simple—no numbers in the thousands or higher, and no decimals or fractions—so that the students can focus on using the correct schemas to solve the problems, rather than focusing on difficult calculations.
Two versions of each of the four sets of problems are provided:
- One version has the additive schemas' diagrams provided.
- A second version does not include the diagrams.
Choose either version, or begin with the diagrams provided and work toward having the students draw their own.
The worksheets are intended to provide supplemental practice after you have taught your students to solve word problems using the additive schemas. I have been amazed at how much better my students with learning disabilities--and even those without any disabilities--solve math word problems once they learn the various schemas. It's great to hear students finally look at word problems and say, "This will be easy!"
