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.
Do your Grade 1-3 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 Schemas is a math word-problem intervention for first through third-grade students experiencing math difficulty. Note: If your students are older, fourth grade and up, take the Pirate Math Equation Quest Group Level course instead, because that includes multiplicative schemas as well. During PMEQ, students receive explicit instruction on reading, interpreting, setting up, and solving word problems with a focus on schemas.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the why - what works and what doesn’t in word-problem instruction.
- Identify three additive schemas.
- Implement five activity routines to implement PMEQ.
