Ongoing: I Can Solve These Second Grade Word Problems!

In this class, students will practice many different types of word problems. The class will be fun and interactive. I will use animated, interactive slides to demonstrate the word problems. I will review the strategies that I use to solve word problems. Your learner should be familiar with addition/subtraction to 100. Together we will read the word problem, look for key words (deciding if we need to add/subtract), and comprehend the word problem itself. We will use a bar model to show what we know and don't know about the word problem. We will write a number sentence using a symbol for the unknown. We will double check our math. We will practice one- and two-step word problems involving adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart and comparing. My classes are interactive and fun. The learners assist me in what we should do on my slides to help us solve our word problems. I look forward to helping your child gain confidence in solving word problems.
