CGI Addition Word Problems – Differentiated Addition Story Problems – Grades 1-3

Description

Finding quality CGI math problems is challenging, so I have done the work for you and created this set of differentiated CGI addition problems in all six problem types Even better? There are three sets of numbers included to help you reach your students at just the right level!

You may not be familiar with the research done with children and how they acquire math understanding—especially with a problem solving philosophy called CGI or “cognitively guided instruction”. 

This resource is designed to help teachers provide students with quality addition story problems to help them navigate the six addition problem types.  Because students come to the table with a variety of skills, each problem has 3 different “select a size” number choices to help make the problem a perfect fit! Rather than having to find different problems for your different levels, you can teach the different problem types and the differentiated numbers are right on the page! 

What is included?

• Real photos and teaching tips and suggestions
• A “teach me” problem to use whole-class to model each of the 6 problem types.  Customize them by writing your student names in the blanks!
• 6 quality problems in all 6 different problem types—all CCSS aligned (36 word problems)
• 3 levels of challenge per problem
• Problems available with 6 of the same problem per page AND on sheets with 6 different problems per page
• Full answer key
• Blank forms to use for independent work or as assessments (use this for ANY of the problems included…students can use it for independent work or for you to collect as an assessment of their problem solving and/or to show their written explanations..)
• 2 assessment forms!

I hope you enjoy using this resource to help improve problem solving with your students!  Problem solving is more than just adding two numbers–it is THINKING… and this resource can help!
