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.

These were helpful with the three reads strategy.

This was so helpful in building the foundation of understanding if it is addition or subtraction and not just looking at the numbers.

I used this to thoroughly teach all the different types of word problems. This was my first time using numberless word problems and it made my students become critical thinkers to solve the problems. They had to really think about the numbers and if they needed to add or subtract to solve. I loved the matching slides and posters to use as you teach each type of problem.

These are simple problems with language easy enough that my grade one students could read it mostly independently. They provided us an opportunity to quickly practice problem solving as a class and allowed students to start to recognize situations and words associated with adding or subtracting.

My kids can’t get enough of these problems. They enjoy the challenge.

Great word problems. I loved the blanks to create words problems based on my student’s math level.
