Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a warm-up or closing activity during a math block, around 15 to 20 minutes, before or after a unit on division and multiplication.
- Discussion question: Why is an equation different from an expression, and how can you tell which one you are looking at?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pair them with a partner, provide a word bank of example problems, or allow them to draw the example first and label it afterward.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a word problem that uses at least three of the terms and then have a classmate identify each term used.
- Estimated time: 15 to 20 minutes for most students, plus a few minutes for a whole-class share of examples.
