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.

Love using this resource. I like how each type of problem is shown in multiple ways and the anchor charts are awesome. I also love being able to plug in bigger numbers to differentiate.

I used this resource to help my students who struggled with knowing what operation to use when solving the word problems. I loved that some of the slides were numberless so that I could really get my students to focus on the vocabulary used in the word problem and what the word problem was asking before giving them actual numbers. When they didn’t have numbers, it helped focus their attention on the type of problem and the process involved to solve the problem rather than just trying to get an answer.

This helps the students understand the wording with the numbers. The students are able to internalize what the problem is asking. Love it!

YAY!!! I am so glad I found your numberless word problem resource…I started using a different numberless word problem product last year and it just didn’t offer what I thought it would. I LOVE all your resources…you put great effort into providing material that is engaging, age appropriate, and fun for the students! I can’t wait to start using this in my firsties!
Sassy 2nd grade thing –
I love how my students had to think and read the problem to find out what was going on. They couldn’t just look at the numbers and add them or subtract them. Thank you.

I loved this resource it matches the language that we are using for math. My students found the resource engaging and easy to follow.

Such a great resource! Students can be exposed to different language for addition and subtraction and removes the emphasis on the numbers which students usually get stuck on. Will use year after year!

I love that these are editable to give different numbers. Solving story problems is such a big part of first grade and this is an easy and quick resource that I have used to keep my kids practicing.
