What our Measurement Word Problems lesson plan includes

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Measurement Word Problems teaches students how to solve word problems with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Students will use one of five strategies that the lesson describes. These strategies are question, information, clue words, create an equation, and check your work. By the end, they will be able to solve word problems involving money, time, length, and other units.

Because word problems can be overwhelming at times, the lesson strives to make them a little easier.

A table lists several key words that students would find in word problems about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
