Word problems are like eating.you need to break them down into little pieces or else you'll choke! Beginning with the analogy of snacks to word problems, students will learn to identify what information they need, what information is unnecessary, how to use pictures/charts/Venn diagrams to solve a problem, key phrases, how to write mathematical expressions, and how to identify what skill needs to be used in the problem. Exercises progress in difficulty, until eventually students are solving word problems all on their own! 92 reproducible pages, softcover; answer key included. Grades 5-8+.
