Drawing Models vs. Key Words in Problem Solving

I used to have my students identify the key words in word problems. However, now I have them draw models instead.

I share reasons why I now have my students draw models and also give you some examples so you can implement this strategy in your classroom. You can use my Word Problem of the Day or my Daily Math Reviews as a resource for word problems. You can then search by your grade level.
