What example-selection guidelines apply when introducing students to addition and subtraction word problems?

What will be an ideal response?


The verbs in the problems should be fairly common terms such as “buy,” “give away,” “make,” “break,” “find,” and “lose.” Also, problems should contain words that the students are able to decode, and the problems initially should be relatively short. A random mix of addition and subtraction problems should be used so that students must discriminate between the two types of problems.
