Solving One Step Word Problems in Grade 2 Math

Miss Oates introduces strategies for solving one-step word problems using addition and subtraction. The video covers three main strategies: drawing a picture, using a bar model, and employing an open number line. Each method is demonstrated with a sample problem involving players on a team. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding the problem and using the CUBES method to identify key information. The focus is on building number sense and using fact families to find solutions.
