1 Credit – Inservice - February 4 — April 8
This course will provide classroom instructors with the tools to assist their students in identifying the various word problem types in order to approach them with confidence and reach solutions with accuracy. Participants will explore the range of word problem types, including Result Unknown, Change Unknown, Start Unknown, Comparison Problems, Separation Problems and Joining Problems. Students who have cultivated the ability to identify the word problem category are well equipped to solve these tasks successfully. This knowledge eliminates the daunting nature of word problems on state assessments, unit exams and homework assignments. More specifically, it will include the multitude of math operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division which accompany each of these work problem types. Relevant for all teachers and students in their respective grade levels. Optional Google Meet will be offered to support participant discussion, questions, and real-time collaboration.
