This worksheet encourages students to tackle multiplication and division word problems by acting as detectives to identify key words that guide them in choosing the correct mathematical operation. It features a series of examples that illustrate how to find these 'key words' (like 'each' or 'share equally') and provides a structured format for students to solve problems, while also tracking their progress through a self-assessment section. The resource is designed to build confidence and skills in interpreting and solving word problems in math.
