hsbaby Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I need a good word problem workbook for my dd. Long story short, she is special needs and it is unlikely she will ever be able to do mult/div without a calculator (she is almost 14 and we are still working on adding). So, I'm looking for some type of workbook solely containing word problems. I would like some for add/sub/mult/div. Basically I want to use a calculator with the workbook....so not challenging her computation skills so much as learning when to use a specific operation. So, not looking for a new curriculum, just for word problem workbooks. Thanks:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatmansWife Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'm thinking of getting Daily Word Problems by Evan-Moor. If you type in "word problems" in the Search box you'll probably get a few more choices. http://rainbowresource.com/search.php?sid=1284777619-474646 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 We like the Kumon Word Problems books. I have only seen grade 1 & 2 but i would guess that they become multi operational as the grades go up. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammaofbean Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 we have the school zone story problem workbook for grades 1-2, and i know they have a grade 3-4. i like it because it is inexpensive, easy to find, and covers the basic story problem types.

hsbaby Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Thank you!!! Off to our local school store to see if they have any of these:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jessica* Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 You already have a few recommendations, but I'll add one more. Afterwards: Folk and Fairy Tales with Mathematical Ever-Afters by Peggy Kaye We're using level 1-2, but there is also a level 3-4 book. Also, if computer-based problems are ok with you, try Math Playground: Part-Whole Models Let's Compare Time for a Change and more word problems games.
