Understanding Word Problems in Math

Students in Ms. Walsleben's groups have been practicing reading, understanding, and solving math word problems. Students first read the story and then draw their understanding of the problem before writing both a number sentence and a word sentence to show their solution. The word problems practice skills students are learning in their math classes while focusing on deconstructing the word problem to understand how they can find a solution.
