Live Webinar: How to Use Three Reads to Create Independent Math Problem Solvers
Do your students struggle to make sense of word problems on their own? In this 90-minute webinar, you’ll learn why students struggle to interpret math word problems. We’ll talk about how word problems are written and why their design often creates a stumbling block for students. You’ll learn about the Three Reads reasoning routine and how it can help your students develop into powerful math readers. Participants will leave the webinar with concrete strategies they can implement immediately to help their students read with a mathematician’s eye.

This task was a fantastic entry point for a fourth grade class for this routine. Students felt comfortable with the numbers, and were able to then focus on the routine and the visual representations. We had a fantastic discussion about what the third visual model would be, and students loved the routine! A great start!
