Word Problem Celebration Day

Chandra Orrill

Working in partnership with the Fall River Public Schools, we dug into research on word problems to provide some strategies for parents. We also created and implemented curriculum with 3rd graders focused on fractions and word problems. This included work with their parents, too.

Two girls use a paper strip to measure something on a blue shelf.

Looking over the shoulders of two boys, we see a large piece of paper on the floor with several number lines on it. An Ozobot travels along one line as on of the children leans in closer.

A parent leans over a paper on the table between two boys. We can see a spinner on one page and questions on the other.

Three kids lean into a large paper with 5 blank number lines on the floor. They are watching an Ozobot go down one of the lines.
