Word problems are one of those terms that can strike fear in the hearts of teachers and students alike. Teachers wonder how to teach word problems focusing on those “key words” and students struggle to understand those “key words” and what they mean.  It can be a frustrating process for both teacher and student. 

Yet, it doesn’t have to be. I was that teacher who taught those “keywords” to look for and hoped that it stuck in the brains of my students. I knew that there had to be a better way. That was when I was introduced to numberless word problems. I am telling you right now, it was a game-changer. My students were able to understand what the word problem was asking, and had a better chance of solving the word problem. 

So in today’s episode, I am going to share with you how to use numberless word problems to help your students solve without having to focus on those “keywords”. In just a few steps your students will have a better understanding of how to solve a problem, and not dread trying to solve them.
