Teaching Story Problems
What it is
Three stories within 20: joining, taking away, and comparing two amounts to find how many more. Each is drawn, written as a number sentence, and answered.
When a child is ready
Ready once facts within 20 are steady.
If they struggle
How many more is the hard one. Draw the two amounts as rows, one under the other, and count what sticks out.
