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.

My students enjoyed how these numberless word problems really made them think. Word problems can be difficult for many kids, but this activity was one that my kids accepted as a challenge!

This helped me to have some good conversations with my kids without the numbers getting in the way and them just jumping into what they thought they needed to do with the numbers. Thanks

I really liked that this product was no prep. It was a great addition to the products I already created for my students. Creating resources takes a long time, so I was grateful to have come across this.

Such a great resource for students to understand word problems. They often get too focused on the numbers and not on what is happening in the problem or what the question is asking. This is helping them be better problem solvers.

I love how open ended this resource is and how much you can tailor it to your student’s needs. It really helps your students build their knowledge of story problems without them relying only on the numbers to solve the problems.

This was an easy resource to practice word problems. Word problems are one of my least favorite skills to teach so I liked that I was able to work with students on 1 problem a day to boost their skills and make sure I was accountable.
