All About Word Problems [PDF ebook] 

Word problems can be thought of as little math puzzles we read. Students learn that solving a word problem involves reading it carefully then turning the words into numbers. The book demonstrates how to solve addition and subtraction word problems by using objects or drawings. This title also will allow students to explain how an author uses reasons and evidence to support particular points in a text and identify which reasons and evidence support specific point(s).
