This was such a quick and effective review of some great strategies to help my students tackle math word problems. I loved the annotation strategies and handy tools you provided. Can’t wait to show this to my students- especially the ones who really struggle with word-based problems and who really do know the math but have difficulty making that connection in word format. Thank you!!
