mommysanders Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm looking for extra practice for my son to do over the summer. He has done really well with Right Start B, and we will continue with the games over summer. I'm also looking for some word problems that he can work on. Someone recommended Challenging Word Problems from Singapore Math. I might get this, but first I'm wondering if there are any other recommendations for word problems that would mesh nicely with Right Start?

mommysanders Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Update: I just noticed the Challenging Word Problems is out of stock! Now I will definitely need some other recommendations. ETA: Looks like they still have Challenging Word Problems Common Core Edition. Not sure exactly how they differ as the topics seem the same.

winterbaby Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Illustrative Mathematics https://www.illustrativemathematics.org (Click on Content Standards. Word problems are called "tasks.") Inside Mathematics Problem of the Month http://www.insidemathematics.org/problems-of-the-month/download-problems-of-the-month Teachers Pay Teachers has a bazillion word problems, of varying quality, many of them free. Can be a good source if you're looking for the very basic straightforward type of word problem. Edited May 5, 2017 by winterbaby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistyMountain Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Fan Math Process Skills in Problem Solving has explicit instruction in how to do the bar diagrams. It has less examples the Challenging Word Problems but the step by step explanation is very helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristin0713 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The regular Singapore workbooks have a lot of word problems in them and they are cheap comparatively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Some kids make the transfer over to word problems, no problem. My dd was one of those who did RS and had no issues with word problems. We had the SM CWP (the old edition, hehe) but they were always fine for her. With my ds, who doesn't make that generalization so easily, I use Daily Warm-ups Problem Solving and other books from Teacher Created Resources. What I particularly like about them is they're sort of witty. And they have all kinds of stuff (brain teasers by grade level, etc.), so you can create packets that are kind of fun. Adding: I go across grade levels with him, so in one packet I might have materials ranging from 1st to 4th. I just look for the sweet spot on each thing.
