Description: When we initially guide students through word problems, we often provide cues or prompts to help them grasp the math involved. However, removing those cues can sometimes leave students feeling a bit lost, akin to a deer caught in headlights, when faced with solving the problem. To determine the operations required, it's crucial to carefully read the problem and identify specific words or phrases indicating what the problem is asking for. Various terms and expressions within the problem can signal which mathematical operation is needed. In this Boom deck students will read various word problems, not with the aim of solving them but rather to find out what operation is best to solve them. Students will decide among multiple choice answers whether to add, subtract, multiply, or divide. Enjoy!
