I usually work along with my students on mini books using my document camera. We discuss the clue words in the problems and all the different ways to solve them. I like to have students bring their books up to share and explain how they arrive at their answers. Later in the year, students will need less support. But, we continue discussing strategies even when they become more independent.
Pictured below is the math mini book my students will complete during our studies of Christopher Columbus. Click on the picture if you would like a FREE copy of it.
I think it's really important to work on word problems throughout the entire year. Math mini books are a really great way to fit them in.
I hope you can get some use out of this activity. If you have any questions about it, please email me.
