Describe the three preskills that must be mastered before students can be introduced to addition and subtraction word problems

What will be an ideal response?


Word problems can be introduced when students can work a page of simple addition and subtraction problems, using a line-drawing strategy, with 80% to 90% accuracy. The students also need to know how to translate the following key phrases: “get more,” “get rid of,” “end with,” and “how many.” After the students know these four terms, the teacher presents another preskill exercise in which she says a common verb and asks if the verb translates to a plus or a minus sign.
