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.

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.
Mary Moore –
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.
Wei-Yu K. –
I love how you categorize the word problems!

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.
