Why Graphic Organizers?
Research has shown how graphic organizers help students organize information to aid reading comprehension. In the same way, they can also help students comprehend word problems. The graphic organizers in GO Solve Word Problems highlight mathematical relationships in word problems and identify both known and missing information.
