Writing Word Problems

$2.50

This pad of 40 sheets provides a format for students of all ages to practice writing word problems. Each page is set up for the student to create a word using each of the four functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Checkbook Insert Many adults with learning problems do not have a checking account. Sometimes it is because of difficulties with math, but frequently is it because the person is embarrassed about their weak spelling skills. The checkbook insert provides the individual with a list of numbers to enable the correct spelling so the person can write checks. We have also included examples of how to write large numbers to give examples of, not only how to spell numbers, but how to put them together to create multi-digit numbers. This checkbook insert fits into a regular size checkbook so that a person can refer to it easily without the embarrassment of pulling out a separate piece of paper.
