Addition & Subtraction Word Problems to 20 – Grades 1-2 – PRINT + DIGITAL

Description

Do your students need additional practice with addition & subtraction? Do they freeze at the sight of a word problem? Be intentional about incorporating word problem practice in all forms with this set of 36 word problems.

There are 11 different problem structures of addition & subtraction word problems. You will find each of these types (with different unknowns) in this set:

• Join problems
• Separate problems
• Part-Part-Whole problems
• Comparison problems

When you move the unknown around in each of these types, you have a huge variety of math word problems to expose your students to.

Using this set of ready to go word problems, you have a huge variety and can practice problem solving and skills practice all throughout the year.

This entire set of problems focuses on addition and subtraction within 20, so you can include this with your curriculum lessons in kindergarten or first grade or use these as review in second grade.

By using smaller numbers, students can focus on the structure of the problem and how to write an equation and solve it rather than getting bogged down with large computation.

You could also use these to practice mental math during a number talk.
