Steps to Solve Word Problems
This handout gives explicit, step-by-step directions for solving one-step word problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Instead of a vague instruction for the student to "choose the operation," this procedure uses fact family triangles which simplifies the process because students need only to decide between two choices: addition/subtraction or multiplication/division. Once the fact family type is identified, the handout gives explicit directions for filling in the

Problem Solving: Writing About How you Solved the Problem
This is a form I created for my students who are not able to write about or verbalize how they solved a math application problem. It breaks down the process step by step using visual cues and sentence starters. In each of the three planners there is a space where you can type in or write your word problem. The children fill in the information on the planning page then take each step and put it together to write about how they solved the entire word problem.
Included are the following three

Inferencing in solving Story Problems
This is one of my FAVORITE lessons to help students become deeper thinkers when problem solving, as well as to show them how their inference skills don't just apply to reading, but to every aspect of their lives, including math!
In part 1 of the lesson, They will first solve a multi-step story problem with the guidance of their teacher, which requires them to make inferences about the story in order to solve it.
In part 2 of the lesson, they will use this same process to work their way through

Second Grade Math Critical Thinking Pictures Numbers and Words 20 Templates
Second grade math students write and draw the math processes they used, and show their thinking, show how they solved the problem or equation. Drawing a picture or a model demonstrates understanding. Students write several sentences to justify their answer. This deepens students’ understanding in math and provides practice with using academic vocabulary in math. This allows teachers to check for understanding. Encourage your students explain their thinking with pictures, numbers, and words.
