The Break It Down For Word Problems graphic organizer is a fantastic tool for supporting students with breaking math word problems into chunks. A simple and effective step by step process is clearly laid out for students, with each step applied to an actual word problem. There are boxes included for students to work out each part of their problems. Three pages are included: 1) Example Page 2) Practice/Work Page for two part problems 3) Practice/Work page for three part problems. My students benefit so much from having this supportive resource, and I know yours will too!
Also be sure to check out the Multiplication Facts and Subtraction and Borrowing graphic organizers.
