Description
There’s nothing like a well-crafted word problem to help your students get their creative juices flowing, but good word problems can be hard for teachers to create. In this one-hour course, author and teacher Alex Kajitani will equip educators with practical tools they can use to create better word problems in their lessons and leverage reading and writing skills.
Connecting math to literacy helps students relate numbers to the real world and shows them how people use math to make everyday decisions. When students are using multiple parts of their brains to learn, they retain information better.
In this course you’ll discover:
- Why word problems are an important part of math lessons
- How to cultivate mathematical vocabulary
- Word problems without numbers
- Examples of word problem strategies

I liked this course and felt it was useful. It gave me better ideas to take word problems rather than using CUBES or other strategies that aren’t always true.

This course will give you another way of approaching word problems. In that, different strategies to not only solve them, but, how to approach them; as well as how to prepare them for word problems.

This course was also in the “How to Connect Math and Literacy” and “Writing in Math Class”. I did both of these courses before I did this one and it was repetitions from the those two courses. Other than that it was ok.
