Math Word Problem Help

If your child struggles with doing word problems on their own, this set of math word problem helps will be useful in teaching your child both the language of math and the steps in the process of solving word problems. Some kids have difficulty knowing which operation to pick, so the key words poster can help. The set includes 4 pages.

• An anchor chart comparing the purposes of the four operations, along with key words to look for when reading math word problems.
• An anchor chart of the symbols and words for building equations with relation symbols.
• Two 4×6 inch cue cards of the word problem process – one for basic one step word problems and one for advanced or algebra word problems.
• A sample word problem page for addition with key words.

You can use these anchor charts and cue cards with any math curriculum. They are especially helpful for students with dyscalculia, dyslexia, or other learning issues where language or sequential processes may get in the way of solving word problems.
