Concrete Strategy for Addition and Subtraction Word Problems
I’ve tried several different math word problem strategies for teaching students to truly understand story problems. However, CUBES or CUBED is the one method that I keep returning to year after year.

Solving multi-step problems is difficult for students, and using either the CUBES or CUBED strategy helps break down the steps. A straightforward, easy-to-understand method also promotes confidence and provides a consistent strategy to follow.
Each page lists either the CUBES or CUBED procedure in a checkbox format. Most teachers are already familiar with CUBES, and with CUBED, the “D” stands for “Draw a picture.” Students are encouraged to draw a picture to help promote comprehension and problem-solving.
I love the twist on CUBES – drawing pictures helps visual learners make the story problem concrete enough to visualize and solve.
