Math - Word Problem Intervention: Additive and Multiplicative Schemas
Do your Grade 4-8 students struggle with math word problems? Do you struggle to help them? You are not alone and we have an evidence-based solution for you. Pirate Math Equation Quest (PMEQ) Additive and Multiplicative Schemas is a math word-problem intervention for fourth though eighth grade students experiencing math difficulty. During PMEQ, students receive explicit instruction on reading, interpreting, setting up, and solving word problems with a focus on schemas.
Learning objectives include:
- Learning the why - what works and what doesn't in word-problem instruction
- Identifying three additive schemas and one multiplicative schema
- Learning five activity routines to implement PMEQ
Please note that enrollment in this course requires successful completion of the prerequisite course Math - Word Problem Intervention Introduction. When you successfully complete this prerequisite, you will be given an enrollment key to access this course. Also, once you complete this course on the Additive and Multiplicative Schemas, you will be automatically enrolled in the next course in the series, Math - Word Problem: Advanced Multiplicative Schema, which completes the series.
