Why Decodable Word Problems?
In many classrooms, math and reading can feel like separate subjects, making it challenging to fit in everything students need for success. Our 360 Decodable Word Problems seamlessly blend phonics practice with essential math strategies so students can tackle addition and subtraction with confidence.
Each page of these word problems includes:
-
Multiple ways to show work (number lines, ten frames, equations, and more).

Engaging, easy-to-decipher language that blends phonics and math together.
-
Step-by-step problem-solving to build students’ confidence and independence.
Your students will learn how to carefully read each word problem, break it down, and solve it using methods that resonate best with them. It’s a win-win—you’ll see improved reading and math skills rolled into one engaging activity.
