Read it, picture it, solve it
Third graders solve word problems with all four operations, including two-step problems like "Maya has 4 bags of 6 apples and gives away 5. How many are left?" (4 × 6 = 24, 24 − 5 = 19). They work with multiplication and division, perimeter and area, elapsed time, money, measurement, fractions and rounding. They learn to represent the problem with a drawing or equation and check if the answer makes sense. The click is when a student reads "equal groups" and instantly thinks multiplication.
Word problems are reading and math at once. These moves teach kids to slow down and think.
Model a three-read routine: first read for the story, second for the numbers, third for the question. Then decide which operation fits. Kids who stop jumping at the numbers make far fewer mistakes.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

One- and two-step problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, plus problems about time, money, measurement, perimeter, area and fractions.
Have them read it out loud, tell you the story in their own words and draw a picture before solving. Ask "What is the question asking?" before any math.
Problems that need two operations to solve, like multiplying to find a total and then subtracting. Third graders learn to find both steps and solve them in order.
Key words can help, but they can also mislead. Understanding the situation, like joining, separating or equal groups, is more reliable.
