Mathematize It! [Grades 3-5]: Going Beyond Key Words to Make Sense of Word Problems, Grades 3-5
Help students reveal the math behind the words
Solving problems is about more than computation. Students must understand the mathematics of a situation to know what computation will lead to an appropriate solution.
Mathematize It! shares a reasoning approach that helps students dig into the problem to uncover the underlying mathematics, deeply consider the problem’s context, and employ strong operation sense to solve it.
This user-friendly resource for Grades 3–5
• Offers a systematic mathematizing process for solving word problems
• Provides specific examples for all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals
• Demonstrates the use of concrete manipulatives to model problems with dozens of short videos

Great read. Emphasizing the point that we need to reach actions, not key words.
