This resource focuses on teaching students problem-solving skills in mathematics using the Schema Strategy. The objective is for students to effectively solve addition and subtraction word problems by identifying schemas—Total, Change, and Difference—creating graphic organizers, and formulating equations to find solutions. The document outlines a step-by-step strategy which includes reading problems multiple times, identifying the schema type, drawing graphic organizers, and writing equations. It also provides various examples and practice problems for students to apply the learned concepts in real-life contexts, such as calculating quantities and understanding comparisons.
