Free Math Problem Solving Webinar recording – Teaching kids to solve word problems is one of the most challenging tasks faced by math teachers. A big part of that is adjusting kid’s attitudes towards these tasks. Most are intimidated by word problems and give up easily. Who wouldn’t when faced with a text book page of long difficult word problems? Yet call those same problems brainteasers or “puzzlers,” do just one a day, and all of a sudden you have a classroom full of students who look forward problem solving!

I totally agree with you Laura. Word problems are complicated. I am using a new program in my first grade class called Swum Math and is giving good results. Do you know it?
Best,
