More Word Problems
Word problems using chapters 1, 2, 4 and 5: whole numbers, addition and subtraction, the tables, multiplication and division.
Your child learns to turn a word problem into a picture. Each amount becomes a bar of equal units, with the total or the difference marked on it, so the drawing shows which step comes first. The same habit carries through two-step problems, guess and check, transfers between two people, before-and-after changes and working back from a wrong calculation. Read the study guide →
