Are your students struggling with word problems? Do you want to empower them with effective tools that foster mathematical reasoning?

Learn about two highly research-based practices: explicit schema-based instruction and attack strategies. Together these approaches are proven to be powerful for student success in understanding and applying word problem structures. Navigating Number Stories is designed for grades K-6, although the explicit schema-based instruction and attack strategies are highly beneficial for all students K-8.

Through a carefully crafted curriculum, you will…

  • learn what research says NOT to do!

  • delve into the what, why, when, and how of effective word problem instruction

  • explore the transformative power of using explicit schema-based instruction and attack strategies

By the end of the program, you will…

  • Feel more confident in your ability to effectively teach and model word problem schemas, leading to improved student understanding and performance

  • Develop a comprehensive skill set to craft specialized classroom materials tailored to the specific needs of your students and your grade level, fostering a deeper understanding of word problem structures

  • Harness the potential of manipulatives to create an engaging learning environment, enhancing students’ grasp of complex mathematical problems and paving the way for lasting academic success
