Abstract	Many elementary students have difficulty solving mathematical word problems. To alleviate trouble with word problems, we designed a word-problem intervention for 3rd-grade students with mathematics difficulty. In this intervention, tutors help students understand the three word-problem schemas for addition and subtraction word problems. Tutors also help students learn how to set up and solve equations. This is important because students use equations to represent the word-problem schemas. We describe the intervention program and the daily activities to enable teachers to use the practices in their own mathematics teaching.
