What's the Problem? Comprehending Word Problems in Mathematics
Math word problems often pose a big challenge to students, especially at-risk students. For students who struggle with reading and comprehension, word problems are just a lot of meaningless words and numbers. This can also be true for those students who do not necessarily struggle. Are they problem solvers or just problem performers? In this session, teachers will engage in instructional routines that include scaffolding and reading comprehension strategies that can help enhance students' understanding as they analyze problem situations which can lead to more meaningful investigations.
