Story Problems

In math today we worked on story problems.  We practiced retelling the story and making a picture in our minds of what is going on in the story.  This will help us understand what we need to do to solve the problem.  When we do story problems we need to show our thinking as to how we solved the problem.  The strategy that we practiced today was to make a representative drawing.  We also always need to include an equation.  The first graders did great with this today!!
