In this word problem solving strategies worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 11 different problems and questions related to identifying word problems. First, they explain what the problem is telling them to do and what is important....

Second graders review story mapping along with characters, setting, problem, events, and solution. They view pictures and tell the story of their picture orally then they write rough drafts and final copies of their stories in the...

In this story writing guidelines worksheet, students examine the 4 sets of considerations for writing stories. Students use the guidelines to write their own stories.

Students explore story structure. For this story structure literacy lesson, students listen to the story Ruby's Wish by Shirin Yim Bridges, stopping at points to identify a problem and predict possible solutions which are then written on...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve forty-four algebraic equations for real and imaginary solutions. Types of equations include higher degress polynomials, rational equationals, radical equations, and square roots inside...

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

The hour is nigh for your class to practice equivalency problems in the form of time-zone conversions. They write equations to describe elapsed time and apply problem solving strategies, including writing a plan, to solve the problems.

Fourth graders create their own story problem from an idea list and solve it. They draw a picture to help in solving their problem. Students build a diorama to illustrate their story problem. They work in class to solve story problems...

Third graders analyze mathematical word problems and interpret the words into mathematical equations. Individuals demonstrate their knowledge of the order of operations both verbally and through written expression.

Collective story writing is a great way to reinforce the concept of story elements and collaborative learning. Young writers discuss story elements such as, setting, character, action, climax, conclusion, foreshadowing, dialogue, and...
