Mathematize It! [Grades 6-8]: Going Beyond Key Words to Make Sense of Word Problems, Grades 6-8

Help students reveal the math behind the words

Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution.

Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem's context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it.
