Third grade students often find it hard to understand word problems. They frequently don’t have an entry point or know what computation or thinking is required to solve them. The graphic organizer included as an integral part of the winter math problems helps students find where to start and gives them a visual so they can more easily complete the multi-steps in an organized way they can understand.

Your students will make sense of word problems instead of relying on tricks and keywords.

Giving your students this winter math graphic organizer as a tool will make word problem solving fun and engaging while at the same time building skills in a rigorous way!

At the bottom of each page, students write a short explanation that will “Convince Me” that their answer is correct. This is a wonderful way to get your third grade students to use math vocabulary and justify their thinking!
