The word Usable can read as follows:

U Able meaning you can do math problem solving.

Us Able meaning together all of us can do math problem solving.

Usable meaning anyone is able to learn math problem solving - with practice, effort, and support.

What are the Usable Math Learning Modules?

Each learning module in Usable Math consists of a group of math word problems related to a specific mathematical concept. The problems are based on the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Framework↗ as well as Common Core Standards↗ .

Each problem within a module consists of a question, three to four possible answer choices, and problem solving ideas and strategies provided by our four coaches: Estella Explainer, Chef Math Bear, How-to-Hound, and Visual Vicuna.

How are the Modules Displayed online?

Each module has been developed using Google Slides.

Click. Pause. Solve.

View each module in Slideshow.

How do teachers, students and families use each module?

We strive to make every module on Usable Math kid friendly . Clicking on a module from the selections on the Modules Homepage , each user controls what happens during the learning experience by clicking to open strategies and spending time thinking about them before answering the question. The goal is for students, by themselves, in small groups, or with a teacher, or a family member, to analyze and understand what the problem is asking them to solve before providing an answer.

A question appears without its answer choices or any problem solving strategies.

Click one time and Estella offers a problem solving strategy.

Click again and the Bear offers a different strategy.

Click again and the Hound presents a strategy.

Click again and the Vicuna has an additional strategy approach.

The next click gives the four answer choices, but not yet the correct answer.

The final click highlights the correct answer from among the answer choices.

Before going to the next problem, a motivational statement and gif appears offering encouragement to the users.

What is the purpose of the Motivational Statements between Problems?

Each motivational statement is intended to provide feedback and encouragement to students using the system. Following the insights of researchers into the use of praise and the development of growth mindsets in young learners, these motivational statements are designed to reward students’ effort, hard work, persistence, and belief in one’s self as a learner. We want youngsters to realize that they can learn anything with the right tools, the right beliefs, the right coaches, and their own work and practice.

Teaching Problem Solving in Math

• Freebies , Math , Planning

Every year my students can be fantastic at math…until they start to see math with words. For some reason, once math gets translated into reading, even my best readers start to panic. There is just something about word problems, or problem-solving, that causes children to think they don’t know how to complete them.

Every year in math, I start off by teaching my students problem-solving skills and strategies. Every year they moan and groan that they know them. Every year – paragraph one above. It was a vicious cycle. I needed something new.

I put together a problem-solving unit that would focus a bit more on strategies and steps in hopes that that would create problem-solving stars.

The Problem Solving Strategies

First, I wanted to make sure my students all learned the different strategies to solve problems, such as guess-and-check, using visuals (draw a picture, act it out, and modeling it), working backward, and organizational methods (tables, charts, and lists). In the past, I had used worksheet pages that would introduce one and provide the students with plenty of problems practicing that one strategy. I did like that because students could focus more on practicing the strategy itself, but I also wanted students to know when to use it, too, so I made sure they had both to practice.

I provided students with plenty of practice of the strategies, such as in this guess-and-check game.

There’s also this visuals strategy wheel practice.

I also provided them with paper dolls and a variety of clothing to create an organized list to determine just how many outfits their “friend” would have.

Then, as I said above, we practiced in a variety of ways to make sure we knew exactly when to use them. I really wanted to make sure they had this down!

Anyway, after I knew they had down the various strategies and when to use them, then we went into the actual problem-solving steps.

The Problem Solving Steps

I wanted students to understand that when they see a story problem, it isn’t scary. Really, it’s just the equation written out in words in a real-life situation. Then, I provided them with the “keys to success.”

S tep 1 – Understand the Problem.   To help students understand the problem, I provided them with sample problems, and together we did five important things:

• read the problem carefully
• restated the problem in our own words
• crossed out unimportant information
• circled any important information
• stated the goal or question to be solved

We did this over and over with example problems.

Once I felt the students had it down, we practiced it in a game of problem-solving relay. Students raced one another to see how quickly they could get down to the nitty-gritty of the word problems. We weren’t solving the problems – yet.

Then, we were on to Step 2 – Make a Plan . We talked about how this was where we were going to choose which strategy we were going to use. We also discussed how this was where we were going to figure out what operation to use. I taught the students Sheila Melton’s operation concept map.

We talked about how if you know the total and know if it is equal or not, that will determine what operation you are doing. So, we took an example problem, such as:

Sheldon wants to make a cupcake for each of his 28 classmates. He can make 7 cupcakes with one box of cupcake mix. How many boxes will he need to buy?

We started off by asking ourselves, “Do we know the total?” We know there are a total of 28 classmates. So, yes, we are separating. Then, we ask, “Is it equal?” Yes, he wants to make a cupcake for EACH of his classmates. So, we are dividing: 28 divided by 7 = 4. He will need to buy 4 boxes. (I actually went ahead and solved it here – which is the next step, too.)

Step 3 – Solving the problem . We talked about how solving the problem involves the following:

• taking our time
• working the problem out
• showing all our work
• estimating the answer
• using thinking strategies

We talked specifically about thinking strategies. Just like in reading, there are thinking strategies in math. I wanted students to be aware that sometimes when we are working on a problem, a particular strategy may not be working, and we may need to switch strategies. We also discussed that sometimes we may need to rethink the problem, to think of related content, or to even start over. We discussed these thinking strategies:

• switch strategies or try a different one
• rethink the problem
• think of related content
• decide if you need to make changes
• check your work
• but most important…don’t give up!

To make sure they were getting in practice utilizing these thinking strategies, I gave each group chart paper with a letter from a fellow “student” (not a real student), and they had to give advice on how to help them solve their problem using the thinking strategies above.

Finally, Step 4 – Check It.   This is the step that students often miss. I wanted to emphasize just how important it is! I went over it with them, discussing that when they check their problems, they should always look for these things:

• compare your answer to your estimate
• check for reasonableness
• check your calculations
• add the units
• restate the question in the answer
• explain how you solved the problem

Then, I gave students practice cards. I provided them with example cards of “students” who had completed their assignments already, and I wanted them to be the teacher. They needed to check the work and make sure it was completed correctly. If it wasn’t, then they needed to tell what they missed and correct it.

To demonstrate their understanding of the entire unit, we completed an adorable lap book (my first time ever putting together one or even creating one – I was surprised how well it turned out, actually). It was a great way to put everything we discussed in there.

Once we were all done, students were officially Problem Solving S.T.A.R.S. I just reminded students frequently of this acronym.

Stop – Don’t rush with any solution; just take your time and look everything over.

Think – Take your time to think about the problem and solution.

Act  – Act on a strategy and try it out.

Review – Look it over and see if you got all the parts.

Wow, you are a true trooper sticking it out in this lengthy post! To sum up the majority of what I have written here, I have some problem-solving bookmarks FREE to help you remember and to help your students!

You can grab these problem-solving bookmarks for FREE by clicking here .

You can do any of these ideas without having to purchase anything. However, if you are looking to save some time and energy, then they are all found in my Math Workshop Problem Solving Unit . The unit is for grade three, but it  may work for other grade levels. The practice problems are all for the early third-grade level.

Math Problems For kids

Math lessons and practice are mostly never on top of a kid’s to-do list for the day. They would rather do anything other than solve math problems for kids or sit through a math class. But math is an important part of a child’s education, it’s crucial children learn math and do well in the subject. In this regard, math problems for kids must be given extra attention in order to enhance their mathematical skills. To start with, explore easy math problems for kids for better understanding. Besides this, explore math games for kids for long-term enjoyment and engagement. 

Check out more interesting math problems for kids online so that they get a variety of equations to solve. At the age of 5-6 kids, you must focus on addition math problems for kids and later with other complex math problems. To enhance their performance, you can conduct math activities where math problems for kids can be solved easily. Must say! There are quite simple math problems for kids available here. Read on to find out. 

How To Make Simple Math Problems For Kids Easy? 

Math problems for kids are applications of concepts of mathematics. Learning math and solving math problems for kids can never be ignored. So, however reluctant your child may be, you still need to get them to learn and practice math. The best way to get an uninterested child to learn math is to make it more interesting.

• Kids learn better when they’re engaged with hands-on and fun learning activities and worksheets. Entice your child to sit through a math lesson or a session of problem-solving by including fun activities in the lesson.
• Parents and educators often assume that a child who doesn’t do well in math has no aptitude for the subject. However, this is far from the truth. The problem doesn’t lie in the child’s aptitude, it lies in the way of teaching, lack of understanding and lack of practice.
• Hands-on activities and educational play will help children understand lessons better. But only when they practice what they’ve learned, they get better at the concept. According to several studies, kids who practice solving math problems tend to score well in the subject.
• Incorporate real life examples to teach math problems for kids. Look around the scenarios around the house or in the classroom to prepare simple math problems for kids. 
• Include interesting materials or props in the classroom or at home for teaching math problems for kids. For example, building blocks, popsicle sticks, balls or any other materials that help you in teaching math problems. 

Tips To Teach Math Problems For Kids 

All through their school years, children learn several of these math concepts. The lessons are reinforced by solving problems. But sometimes, these problems can get too complicated and stump the kids. Here are some tips to help kids tackle math problems easily.

• Plan Strategies: Each problem needs to be looked at from a different viewpoint and choose the appropriate strategies for that problem. For that, you need to first understand the problem, work out strategies to solve the problem and effective strategies to check the answers. Once kids understand these strategies, they’ll be able to solve most mathematical problems on their own.
• Understanding the problem: When faced with a math problem, several students have trouble figuring out what it’s asking them to do. They have trouble assessing what they need to do in a problem. Often, this becomes the greatest hurdle for most kids. In this regard, you can assist them by giving clues so that kids understand the problems more easily. 
• Read the question multiple times: Often, the answer to a math problem lies in the question itself. Kids often miss out on vital information when they skim through instead of completely reading the problem. So, encourage the kids to read the question several times until they figure out what they need to do.
• Identifying vital information: When kids look at a mathematical problem, they sometimes don’t focus on the vital information in the question. Without the relevant information, they struggle to solve the problem. Teach students to identify relevant and vital information in the question and highlight it. Then ask them to use this information to solve the problem. A great way to do this is to swap out unnecessary information about the problem, like names or situations. Keep the numerals intact and solve the problem. Help them understand that altering the scenarios or names or objects does not change the end result. This helps them understand what should be the point of focus while solving problems.
• Solving the problem: Often, the simplest of things help us solve the most complicated of problems. It’s all about choosing the right strategy to solve the problem on hand. When solving math problems for kids, employing very simple and basic strategies will help kids come up with the solution.
• Visualizing: Sometimes, when you’re faced with an abstract problem, visualizing it helps to solve the problem. A simple thing like drawing pictures or tally marks could help children figure out how to solve a problem.
• Finding patterns: Most math problems for kids have a pattern. Once kids learn to find and exploit the pattern, they’ll be able to find the necessary information to solve the problem. To find the pattern, kids must list all the relevant information in a problem. Then compare this information to locate the missing fact and solve the problem. 
• Work backwards to solve the problem: Sometimes, you’re faced with a problem or mathematical sentence that wants you to find a missing number. In such cases, work backwards from the answer to find the missing number and solve the sum. For example: 12 – x = 8. In this problem, students need to find the value of x.
• Start with the answer to the problem. So, here we start with 8.
• Shift the x to the right and 8 to the left in the equation. So, it can be rewritten as: 12 – 8 = x.
• Subtract 8 from 12. 12 – 8 = 4.
• Therefore, x = 4.
• Check the answers:

Checking the solution is one of the most important parts of solving math problems for kids. Often, kids rush through the process of solving a problem to get an answer but forget to check if the solution is correct. And most often, this misstep causes errors. Checking the steps followed and the solution is an important step of problem-solving. It helps pinpoint areas of difficulty and to fix any errors they’ve made in the process. 

• Checking with peers: Comparing answers with peers is a great way to check if the solution you arrived at is right. Sometimes, it also helps students learn different methods of solving the same problem. A peer can help point out errors in working out the problem and troubleshoot ways to fix the errors.
• Backtracking to check and fix mistakes: Teach students to check the solution to the problem step-by-step to find errors in the process. Then, they can fix the errors to find the correct solution to the problem. These simple strategies can make solving even the most complicated math problems simple. Kids need to get comfortable with solving math problems. Additionally, solving more sums will help them gain more confidence. This, in turn, will improve their problem-solving skills.

Importance of problem-solving abilities: Navigating the maze of life requires many skills; it requires the ability to face challenges, find solutions, and adapt.  This is where problem-solving enters the picture, and here’s why it’s so crucial for our kiddos: Life is Full of Puzzles:  From tying shoes to understanding a new math concept, life constantly presents us with puzzles. Equipping our children with problem-solving skills ensures they can tackle each one confidently. Boosts Independence:  As parents or educators, we won’t always be there to hand-hold. When kids can solve problems on their own, they gain a sense of independence, which is essential for their personal growth. Develops Resilience:  Not every attempt to solve a problem will be successful. But with each try, children learn resilience, understanding that it’s okay to fail and important to try again. Prepares for Real-World Challenges:  The real world isn’t a scripted playground. It’s unpredictable. By honing their problem-solving abilities, we’re preparing kids to face the unforeseen challenges of the world outside. Enhances Cognitive Growth:  Otherwise known as cognitive development. Problem-solving isn’t just about finding solutions. It’s about thinking critically, analyzing situations, and making decisions. This cognitive workout helps in the overall brain development of our children. Fosters Creativity:  There’s often more than one way to solve a problem. Encouraging kids to think outside the box helps them see things from different perspectives and nurtures their creative spirit, letting them see possibilities where others might see roadblocks. Encourages Adaptability:  In the face of challenges, it’s important not just to find solutions but to be adaptable. As the world changes, kids with strong problem-solving skills can change with it, learning and growing along the way. Builds Confidence :  Every problem solved is a victory, a testament to their capabilities. This builds a child’s self-esteem, making them believe in their ability to face and overcome obstacles. So, while it may seem like just another skill on the list, problem-solving is a cornerstone for a well-rounded, resilient, and successful individual. 4 Simple Problem-Solving Steps We Should Know at a Young Age Problem-solving steps can be thought of as the building blocks for tackling challenges.  They’re like a set of instructions that  guide us  on our journey to finding different solutions. These steps provide a  roadmap  for kids, helping them break down big problems into smaller, more manageable pieces.  By following these steps, children can learn  how  to think critically, make smart decisions, and even discover their own creative problem-solving superpowers.  First, we need to understand the problem, just like examining the pieces before we start building.  Next, we brainstorm – this is where we think of different solutions, like trying out various block combinations. Then comes the important part – evaluating the options. We must determine the best solution ,  just like choosing the right blocks for our structure.  After that, it’s time to put the plan into action, just like assembling the blocks to create something amazing.  Finally, we review and see if our solution works, making adjustments if needed.  These problem-solving steps are like our trusty toolkit, helping us build our way to success with creativity and ingenuity. Whether it’s figuring out a math puzzle, resolving a conflict with a friend, or coming up with a new game, these problem-solving steps will be a guide to helping kids take their next steps.

Resourcefulness:  Challenge children to find alternative solutions using the available resources rather than relying solely on adult guidance.

Persistence:  Staying determined, even when faced with challenges, and continuing to try until a solution is found.

It’s less about giving the right answers and more about asking the right questions.  Encourage Curiosity.  Let kids explore questions like, “What do you think would happen if…?” or “How would you do it differently next time?”. Embracing mistakes as learning opportunities can be a game-changer. Set Up Scenarios.  Create environments or situations where kids can think and act independently. Whether it’s setting up a puzzle station at home or a role-play corner in the classroom, these controlled scenarios can stimulate their problem-solving faculties. Remember, it’s okay for them to struggle a bit. It’s through overcoming challenges that real learning occurs. Lastly,  Be a Guide, Not a Director.  Instead of directing them step-by-step, guide them by providing hints or asking probing questions. This helps them develop the ability to analyze situations and think critically. As they grow, they’ll be more equipped to approach challenges with confidence and creativity.  So, whether you’re a parent or an educator, remember that each day presents countless opportunities to bolster these invaluable skills. Embrace them! Final Thoughts: Problem Solving Activities for Kids Being a pro at problem-solving helps us face all types of curveballs life throws at us.
