Trying to build students’ problem-solving skills, but they still struggle to make sense of word problems? Stop relying on CUBES and key words for problem solving, which doesn't work and shift to problem-solving schema strategies that develop understanding, using graphic organizers, and modeling math thinking.

Most students don’t fail because of computation. They struggle because they don’t understand the structure of the problem. Without a clear system, they rely on guessing instead of reasoning.

This growing bundle is built around research-based problem solving schemas, using graphic organizers, helping students learn how to identify problem types, model relationships, and apply the correct strategies with confidence. Stop the "keyword hacking" and help your students truly master word problem schema by using powerful graphic organizers that reveal the underlying mathematical structure and meaning of every story problem.
