• Three Reads: Reading a word problem three different times, each with a different focus:
• reading for context
• reading to understand the quantities and their relationships
• read to determine what mathematical questions we could answer
• Numberless Word Problems: Studies indicate that when students encounter a word problem, they frequently exhibit a "compulsion to calculate." This behavior involves disregarding the problem's context and instead extracting numbers to perform calculations. Removing the numbers allows teachers to have a conversation and model the thinking needed to answer the question.
