The big idea of this lesson is to have students write their own word problems to help them have a better understanding of mathematical operations, as they relate to real-world scenarios. Pictures and videos of the lesson in the process...

Learn how to read and understand distance word problems so you can solve them.

Practice solving fraction addition and subtraction word problems. The fractions in these problems have unlike denominators. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

Solve word problems by comparing decimals Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this exercise, students practice telling time word problems with the number line. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly.

Solve word problems to find what time an event occurred or how long an event lasted. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students will explore multiplication and word problems. They will work cooperatively to examine a story scenario, list possible questions to develop a completed word problem and solve it using a variety of strategies. The students will...

This lesson gives students hands-on experience creating and illustrating word problems.

Demonstrates, step-by-step and with examples, how to set up and solve 'mixture' word problems.

Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Represent multi-step word problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Equations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to...

In this lesson, students will listen to the book called The Grapes of Math by Greg Tang, but before reading, students will listen for the "different" way to solve the problem on each page. After reading, students will focus on one page...

Solve word problems by comparing whole numbers. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

For this lesson, students will use key words and the part-part-whole model to solve addition word problems.

Second graders solve change unknown story problems using a number line. This lesson gives students a new strategy to attach change unknown word problems.

Students will be able to create their own number stories and represent them using one of the methods we have learned in this unit.

Writing word problems reinforces understanding of the order of operations.

Practice solving multi-step word problems. The numbers in these problems may be fractions, decimals, and percents. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Here, students can practice solving word problems involving a finite geometric series. They receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Explains the "trick" to "work" word problems (such as two people painting a room, or two pipes filling a tank), and demonstrates how to set up and solve these exercises.

Solve word problems that involve systems of linear inequalities. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Solve word problems that involve linear inequalities in two variables.

This site offers a guide for strategies used to solve word problems. Common phrases and their mathematical translations are included. This can be used by students while working on assignments.

Students explore two new scenarios that involve solving systems of equations. They will improve their understanding of how using mathematics to model a real-life situation with two variables can help them solve problems.
