I thought about this and stated that this seemed like a very hard way to engage these students in problem solving, because the task was really more focused on reading

It seems like they have little understanding/reasoning on how and why they chose that specific way to solve.
This unit is meant to help students realize (through naming, identifying, creating and solving) that there are six different types of addition and subtraction word problems (Result Unknown, Chan
