Story problems with happy endings. The two biggest stumbling blocks for students when first encountering word problems are determining the critical information and deciding which math operation to use. What is important? Do I add or subtract? We offer a simple solution. Our beginning lessons involve only addition. Anxiety over selecting the operation is eliminated so students can focus on the complexities of the word problems. Next, we introduce word problems that use only subtraction. Finally, the two computation processes are combined. Students can then draw on their knowledge of key words, phrases and scenarios to solve mixed operations. Students experience a sense of accomplishment. Countless rewards and happy endings await. 320+ ACTIVITIES: 100 CORE CONCEPT MASTERS Identifying key words for addition Sorting and identifying relevant information Developing critical thinking skills Practicing single-digit through four-digit addition word problems Finding multistep solutions 100 ADVANCED MASTERS Identifying key words for subtraction Practicing single-digit through four-digit subtraction word problems Mixed addition and subtraction word problems Finding multistep solutions 121 TEACHING AIDS Number masters with TouchPoints Backward counting number lines 20-0 Reversible addition/subtraction flashcards KIT GUIDE WITH ANSWER KEY   If you like this product, we recommend:    Upper Grades Addition Kit       Upper Grades Subtraction Kit       Upper Grades Word Problems Kit 2    Educators who chose this product also purchased:    Upper Grades Word Problems Kit 2       Upper Grades Mult. & Division Kit 1       Upper Grades Fractions Kit
