This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students use their understanding of word problems to sort problems based on type. The focus for students in this lesson shifts from solving word problems to analyzing word problem structures in order to group like problems. The purpose is to help students understand and visualize problems so they will know how to write equations that match and know what operation is needed to solve. This lesson focuses on sorting addition and subtraction word problems with a specific focus on Take Apart and Put Together types. The lesson, however, can be adjusted to use with any problem types you notice students need more experience with. You could also adjust the number size in the problems to use this lesson at different times in the year.
