Math Word Problems

Introduction:
The Word Problems are listed by grade and, within each grade, by
theme. I always find that providing a seasonal worksheet helps keep my
daughter excited about doing her work.
The grade levels are a guideline -- please use your
judgment based on your child's ability and eagerness (my eldest daughter
always used a grade below whereas my younger daughter seems to be a grade
or two above -- go figure). Keep in mind that Math Word Problems
require reading, comprehension and math skills so a child who is good at
basic math equations may struggle more than you would expect when faced
with math word problems.
All word problems are
dynamic (in other words, they regenerate a new problem each time you open them
or click refresh on your browser). The words in the particular
problem will not change but the numbers will. Children who struggle
converting a word problem into a math equation will find it reassuring
(confidence builder) to revisit the same verbal clues with different
numbers, so consider printing a couple regenerations of each problem.
In a classroom setting you can provide a problem to partners or a group of
students to solve together and then provide a regeneration of the same
problem for the children to do solo.
With my eldest daughter, once I realized how much she
struggled with math when it wasn't written down in a nice neat equation, I
often walked through a math problem with her (doing most of the work
myself) and then provided her a few regenerations of the same problem with
different numbers for her to do solo. After a few weeks of this, she
was able to do them without the walkthrough from mom. She's one of
those kids who says, "It's too hard!" fairly quickly so
confidence building is important -- if she thinks she can't do something
she can't -- if she thinks she can do something she can. Now how do
I convince her that she CAN keep her room clean? *laugh*
