United States Postal Service thinks about cutting service and Hooda Math has written three word problems to challenge your students. They are for primary, intermediate, and middle school students. The problems are subtracting whole numbers, subtracting decimals, and finding percentage increase.

Division Word Problems – Strategy: Guess and Check

Michael — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:16:57 +0000

This is very similar to the other Lessons I have posted. To make it Guess and Check have the students start by guessing how many pizzas per classroom and then making circles for classroom and filling in the dots and counting the dots to adjust their guesses. I’ll post a more detailed lesson plan when I get a chance.

Multiplication Word Problems – Strategy: Drawing

Michael — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:45:30 +0000

Here is the first worksheet I made to teach students the Drawing strategy.

I did the first problem on the overhead with the students.

A. 1. I started with what do you draw first? the nests. then what do you draw second? the eggs in the nests.

2. Then we counted the eggs to get the answer. 21 eggs

3. Then I asked how could we use addition to solve this problem? 3+3+3+3+3+3+3 = 21

4. Then I finally asked for multiplication? 7 x 3 = 21

5. How would you write that in a sentence using the word “groups”? Seven groups of three.

B. 1. I had then work on the second problem on their own doing the exact same thing we did on the first problem, drawing, counting, adding, multiplication, explain in words.

2. Walked around and checked.

3. Went over on overhead with class, quickly.

C. 1. Students directed to draw their own multiplication word problems, must have “groups”.

2. Then followed by the written word problem.

3. I also put two rules on the board

Rule 1: It must end in a question.

Rule 2: It must be able to be solved using Multiplication.

D. Students begin to work, some ask to write out the problem first, that is fine. When students finish have them exchange problems.

E. Have students share their problem on the overhead with the class.
