In each session, students will work to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction within 1,000 and multiplication and division problems within 100. 

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.
- 🧩 Problem-solving exploration for efficient strategies.
- 🔍Problems with multiple solution pathways to encourage students to reason abstractly.
