Greetings Teachers and Colleagues,

Teacher math can be difficult for even the most seasoned teacher, but help is on the way. Using DOK level strategies from levels 1-4, your students can become a wiz at solving word problems. My students have become proficient in determining:

Tier 3 Vocabulary

Operation Word Clues

Creating plans to solve the problem

Identifying what operations will be needed to solve the problem.

Using these simple strategies, my students have been able to solve problems while mastering procedural knowledge learned during direct teaching sessions.

You can print the first page as well and create a poster to hang in your class to remind them of the steps they need to take as well.

Have fun!

The Renaissance Teachers
