This was a coaching session. Teachers were observed and then we had a debriefing. Below are some recommended resources:

Recommendations:

  1. Make word problems visual by color coding each sentence to make it easier for the students to unpack the problem a line at a time. Use images of things in the problems.

  2. Display work on an interactive whiteboard for all students to see.

  3. Use visuals so kids can “see” vocabulary terms.
