Description
This bundle of numberless addition and subtraction word problems for 1st grade will supply you with all of the contexts you will need for the entire school year!
When you purchase this full-year word problem bundle, you are saving over 30% off the price of the individual monthly packs.
Numberless word problems help first students to focus on the action and context of an addition or subtraction story problem rather than being “number pluckers”! This numberless word problem bundle will support your first-grade students in this goal for the entire school year.
Each of the 150 projectable word problems in this bundle work in a sequence:
- The first slide gives the students a context with no numbers at all.
- The second slide adds just a bit of information by adding in one amount.
- The third slide adds in the rest of the numeric information… but something is missing.
- The fourth and final slide in each problem adds in the question the students will be solving.
Teacher materials for effortless implementation are also included:
- The clickable table of contents makes this resource incredibly easy to use. Problem types including add to, take from, put together, take apart, and comparison are all labeled so you can select exactly the problem that your students need on any given day.
- An easy-to-use discussion questions slide provides you with prompts to ask on each stage of the numberless word problems. Conversation is the most powerful component of these problems and the question stems will help you to have rich conversations with your students!

Originally reviewed on TPTHelpful Addition to Our Routines
My students benefited from the structure and routine that followed the word problems throughout the year, but they also liked the novelty of the different themes. We have great discussions about word problems and operations vocabulary!

Originally reviewed on TPTGreat resource!
This resource is fantastic for use in my SPED classroom. My students have such a difficult time understanding what the problem is asking of them and this resource helps break it down step by step with a variety of engaging story problems. Thank you!

Originally reviewed on TPTMy students enjoyed talking about the numberless word problems. It seemed to be less stressful for them to solve, after talking through each problem.

Originally reviewed on TPTThis made for a good AMI day assignment to provide practice. I also used this as a quick check to determine progress.

Originally reviewed on TPTI love these numberless word problems! They have been so helpful in teaching my students to not just impulsively add or subtract the first numbers they see in a word problem. They are learning to think about what the problem is asking them to do.

Originally reviewed on TPTThis was great for my students. I used it with my intervention students to show them that word problems can be fun and not scary. They loved this and I loved that it did not take any prep on my part.
