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 loved utilizing this to learn about solving word problems. It was helpful for them to visualize the problem without any numbers in it.

This is such a valuable resource for teaching story problems. Students really have to understand the problem and I can differentiate so easily with these!

I love the open ended math problems that can be differentiated for all my kids. It makes them think more critically than a standard word problem. I also love that both options were still included though.

This is such a well designed resource. I love how organized and consistent it is. My students are always trying to be the first to figure out how to solve the problem. I can already see them becoming better word problem solvers! Thank you for this AMAZING resource!!

This was great to introduce the different types of word problems and get them thinking about what is happening so they can more easily solve the problem.

Having wordless-problem solving tasks is a terrific warm-up activity to get students thinking carefully about what the question is actually asking them to solve. Very engaging for a class with a broad range of educational needs.

I am so excited to start using this with my students. This will be great for the ones who have a hard time knowing what to do in the first place before you even tackle the computation aspect of word problems!

My students loved this resource. I loved the variety of story problems that were included. I was able to use this resource with all levels of learners because I had the ability to plug in numbers in an appropriate range for each group of students.
