The Stickybear Word Problems program provides beginning practice at analyzing and solving math word problems for children in grades 1 through 4 and up. The program captures the interest of students while teaching crucial mathematical skills. Students solve math problems related to everyday situations - calculating the number of cookies left on a plate, counting the number of holes in a pair of torn jeans, finding out how many balloons are left after some have been bought and sold. Deductive as well as arithmetic skills are put to use. More than 350 math word problems provide plenty of active practice in any combination of addition, subtraction and simple multiplication.
Teachers can tailor the program for a whole class or an individual.
Teachers may add their own problems at any time and the program produces reports for assessment. Problems may e printed for take-home use. Extension materials are provided with all school, lab pack and site license versions including 12 complete lesson plans and activity sheets. All teacher materials may be freely duplicated for classroom use. Students are rewarded with animations featuring the Stickybear family when they answer correctly.
