"I Can Read" Math Problems

    Our students have used the language of story problems and math over the past few months many times.  We are now moving toward solving simple problems independently. One strategy is to give students problems they can read on their own!  
     First, make sure they understand the problem.  Try a similar problem together with a different set of numbers.    Offer manipulatives to help them think through the actions in the problems or drawing materials.  Then, after they know the problem, ask them to solve and show you the problem on their own.
     After their work, try to have time to share their ideas with each other.

        Two sets of "I Can Read" Problems and over 20 more lessons are available in our new book, A Year Full of Understanding Addition and Subtraction.  

     You can purchase it at our Teachers Pay Teachers store:
