How do we solve word problems in math? Pictures of course…the children were introduced to word problems during our group time Math Minutes. These will be introduced in Kindergarten as well and are one of the most challenging tasks for young mathematicians. The key to solving math problems is to teach children strategies to solve them. The first strategy will be drawing pictures, which we began today. The second will be a math “sentence,” but I’ll leave that up to the Kindergarten and First grade teachers 🙂
