Word Problems Aren't so Scary- Multi-Step Word Problems

In this course, students will work through multiple step word problems and be given useful tips in how to solve them. We will work through problems, looking for key words that tell us what we are solving and identifying the information necessary to solve them. These tricks include:

-Highlighting/underlining key words and crossing out unnecessary information
-Understanding what the problem is asking us through key words 
-Solving using the skills necessary to solve including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (previous knowledge is not necessary for these skills, as we will solve this together so young learners can participate as well)

Students will work through a series of problems with the instructor on the screen and independently and get opportunities to interact on the screen as well to solve problems. Practice material will be provided.

The time structure for this class is as follows:

5 Min-introductions, allowing students time to join the class, review rules
10-15 min- strategies for solving word problems and demonstrating how to use strategies
15-20 min- independent practice of problems and reviewing problems (we will present one at a time, giving about 4-5 minutes per problem for students to solve, then we review together with students demonstrating skills for solving).

Students will use the chat feature to send answers to the teacher.
