The Best Word Problem Strategy Thanksgiving Edition

This freebie includes 4 addition word problems and 4 subtraction word problems using a 4 step graphic organizer strategy to solve the word problem.

I use this strategy with my first graders and the improvement in their ability to really understand the problem, what the problem is asking, what information they need to work with, and what operation to use has significantly increase in this past month! I am so proud of them and so enthusiastic about this 4 step process.

Hope this can help your students improve as well!
