Modification is a key element of this standard. Give an example on how you can modify this Grade 1 activity: 

Each student will draw a picture the problem and solve them. If Maddie has 6 M&Ms and gives 4 to Joshua, how many M&Ms does Maddie have left?

Examples of modifications:

• The teacher may have the students underline/highlight key words in each problem.
• Have students use manipulatives to represent the word problems to help them draw pictures.
• The teacher may need to adjust numbers to slightly decrease difficulty for struggling students.
