While there are many strategies out there to choose from, help your students focus on the number line strategy for solving elapsed time word problems. Use this lesson independently or alongside Beyond Just Addition.

Make sure your students understand the word problem before they begin to solve it! Use this as a stand alone lesson or a pre-lesson for Two-Step Word Problems with Mixed-Operations - Gamified!

Teach your students to ask and differentiate between recall questions and inferential questions. This lesson will help build a classroom culture around asking deep, inferential questions.
