Students will learn the basic actions as well as common code words for the four main math functions. They will also learn commonly used "code words" to help them know which function will help them solve the problem. Then we will go over additional strategies for solving word problems. To make sure they understand, we will be doing examples as we go and, at the end of class, they will have the opportunity to make up their own word problems.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
