🌟 Does your learner need a boost in solving math word story problems with two or more steps? This ongoing enrichment class empowers students to tackle multi-step word problems that include addition, subtraction, multiplication, & division.

We will focus on breaking down the problems, discussing the different strategies that can be used to solve them, and determining which strategy would be the most efficient. 

🤔 Have you been dealing with: 

❓Concerns about your child's ability to solve multi-step math word problems?
❓Frustration over your child's lack of confidence in math?
❓Worrying about your child falling behind in math compared to peers?
❗️Then, this course is here to help. 

Each math problem presented will unveil multiple solution pathways, encouraging students to think creatively and reason abstractly. Students will grow their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Through discussions, modeling, and collaborative activities, students will develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts while building confidence in their abilities.

In each session, students will work to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction problems within 10,000 and multiplication and division problems with 2-digit and 3-digit numbers. Problems will also include decimals and fractions. 

Here’s how we approach each problem:
Problem Analysis- As a group, we will break down what the problem is asking us to solve. 
Independent Problem Solving—To foster self-reliance, students will have time to solve problems independently (with help if needed) by drawing pictures, using mental math, or using other strategies.  
Interactive Sharing - We share our answers and discuss strategies collaboratively. 
Strategy Discussion - We will explore strategies to tackle word problems efficiently and confidently. 


T E A C H I N G   S T Y L E:

- 🌟 Small group or 1:1 guided math discussion about solving word problems.
- 🤝 Peer interaction & connection encouraged.
