Wait… What Is the Problem Asking? Helping Students Slow Down, Think, and Solve

Do your students see a word problem and immediately start grabbing numbers and guessing which operation to use? In this 30-minute webinar, discover two simple strategies that help students slow down, understand the story, and identify what the problem is asking before solving. Explore ways to get students talking through their thinking and becoming math detectives who look for clues and evidence.

Who should attend? Teachers, math interventionists, and instructional support staff looking for practical ways to strengthen students’ word problem-solving skills.

You will learn how to:

• Help students make sense of the story behind the numbers.
• Guide students to identify what they need to find.
• Teach students to gather relevant information before choosing an operation.
• Encourage students to explain their thinking using evidence from the problem.

Leave with two strategies you can use right away to build more confident and thoughtful problem solvers!
