How Word Problem Whiz Works
A three-step routine that makes word-problem thinking visible: read the story, sort the pieces, build the equation, then check with guided hints.
Three steps every problem
Read the story
Read the word problem carefully.
Sort the pieces
Drag numbers and words like "more" — they become + in your equation! Tap a tile in a bucket to put it back.
Build the equation
Drag or type into each box. Tap × to clear a box, drop onto a filled box to switch, or use Clear boxes. Each problem has 3 hints.
How one problem works
- Step 1
Read & sort
Drag numbers and clue words (like “more” or “each”) into buckets.
- Step 2
Build the sentence
Drag or type into each slot — including missing numbers and multi-step rows.
- Step 3
Check & learn
Three tries with coaching hints before the full solution is shown.
