What is word problems?
Word problems describe a real situation in words; the student works out which operation to use and solves it.
How to teach it
Read it twice, underline the question and the numbers, draw a bar model or picture, choose the operation, then check the answer makes sense.
Worked example
Common mistake
Grabbing the numbers and guessing the operation from a key word instead of the situation (e.g. 'more' does not always mean add).
