Description
Numberless word problems are designed to provide scaffolding that allows students the opportunity to develop a better understanding of word problems.
Word problems can be a tough concept for students to understand. Often times, students will see a word problem, pull the two numbers from the word problem, and then quickly add or subtract the two numbers without taking the time to fully process what it is that the word problem is asking.
Numberless word problems guide students through their thinking and reasoning as to why they are adding or why they are subtracting.

This is a terrific product! I love how there are printables and digital for each type of word problem that students will experience. I also love how the product also includes a numberless and a number version of each word problem. The perfect addition to any unit on word problems. Thank you so much!

I used this resource as part of my daily calendar. The kids would get upset if we had to skip a problem because of time.

These activities really helped strengthen my students’ problem-solving skills! It enabled them to better understand the context of word problems, rather than just guess what to do with the numbers in the problem. Thank you for such a great resource!

I love how easy this was to adapt to different levels in my class just by inserting different numbers! This is game-changing stuff here and really gets my students thinking!

I have used these for a couple of years with my 2nd graders and I am such a believer! So important for looking at/discussing the words used in a word problem and what they mean.

These really help the students think through word problems and what all the information is for. I use one every morning to help them jumpstart their thinking.

I’ve been using these in my lesson’s activating strategy. It’s been a great resource for the beginning of the year, before we really dive into word problems. I really think it’s going to be a game changer for my students and learning how to work our word problems.

I love that these are easy to add to my slideshow that I use on a daily basis. It’s nice for the students to focus on the words first to figure out what they’ll need to do in the problem, then add in the numbers to truly solve it.
